Snakebite & Black The classic goth drink If you're not a goth you may wonder what a Snakebite and Black is. It's quite simple really. Just mix half a pint of cider with half a pint of lager and add blackcurrant til it gets the right colour (and sweet enough taste). Drink and rejoice. For the really daring I also present the recipe for the Anaconda Snakebite (information taken from Take a Bite). The Anaconda Snakebite is made with half a pint of Theakstons Old Peculiar (or another real ale) and a bottle of Diamond White or 1080 (or other strong dry cider), a dash of black and two straws. The drink has the colour and consistency of slightly congealed blood (some sort of reaction between the bitter and the cider). It allegedly turns to poison in your stomach and goes well with kebabs.
