A snakebite is an alcoholic drink made with equal parts lager and cider.
[1] If a dash of blackcurrant cordial is added, it is known as a "Diesel" or a "Snakebite and Black".
[citation needed] A snakebite is typically served in a pint glass.
[1] Serving a snakebite from separate cider and lager taps or bottles is legal in the UK, despite sources that suggest otherwise.
In 2001, former US President Bill Clinton was refused a snakebite when he ordered one at the Old Bell Tavern in Harrogate, North Yorkshire as a consequence of this myth.
