A Snakebite is a cocktail essentially made from equal parts of lager and cider (the alcoholic drink known as hard cider in the United States).

Snakebite is typically served in pint servings. UK licensing laws make half-pint servings impossible, as the two main ingredients are dispensed in strictly controlled half-pint measures.  Many pubs in the UK refuse to serve them, because the mixture of beer and cider is so effective at making you drunk.
