Queen Mary (beer cocktail)

So imagine you have a glass of beer. It's that yummy, bubbly drink that adults sometimes drink. Now, imagine we want to make it even better! We add something called a "queen mary" to it.

A queen mary is basically a special mixture that makes the beer taste different and sometimes even better. It's made up of a few things.

First, we put some Clamato juice in the glass. Clamato juice is a type of juice that is made from a mixture of clam broth and tomato juice. It might sound gross, but it actually tastes really good when we mix it with other things!

Next, we add some hot sauce to the Clamato juice. Hot sauce is a liquid that is made by mixing together some spicy ingredients like peppers. It adds a little bit of heat and flavor to our queen mary!

Now, we add some Worcestershire sauce to the mixture. It's a type of sauce that comes from England and has a really strong flavor that goes well with the other stuff we're mixing together.

Finally, we pour our beer into the glass and give it a good stir with a special stick called a celery stick. Sometimes we even add a little salt and pepper on top to make it taste extra yummy!

That's it! Now we have a queen mary - a special beer cocktail that adults like to drink because it tastes really good. It might seem strange to mix all these things together, but trust me, it's delicious!
