Once again: Put the beer in a Tiki mug. No one will ever know what the beer drinker is drinking and the exotic atmosphere will be kept intact. Cocktail mixing for a group is a hassle and a half already without attempting to pry open the lips of an avid beer drinker in order to get them to try something tropical...Even though you are trying to improve their lives through fine drinking. Tiki mugs are better suited for beer than any coctail. If you can't or won't go the mug route you can try this recipe on the beer drinker:

The Bruddah Bud

1 can Bud (any variety)
1 chilled martini glass

Being careful to not shake the contents open the can of Bud. Slowly pour into the chilled martini glass, avoid developing any foam. Garnish with a vanda orchid.

Something elses to consider with beer drinkers: Some people have had bad experiences with "hard" liquor. They got too drunk on ______ once and something happened that never happened when they'd been drinking beer. In their heads it was the ______ that was at fault and not just alcohol in general. So they avoid "the hard stuff" for fear of ending up on top of a table doing the cancan with a lampshade on their head.
