The strange-looking tipple consists of a bottle of the sugary, vodka-based, 90s alcopop, and half a pint of the Irish dry stout, Guinness .

When poured into a pint glass after the Smirnoff Ice , the unmistakably black Guinness, with its white head, floats on top of the silvery liquid.

Badger was created by staff at The Marine Boathouse in Skegness, Lincs, as part of the Young Farmers Weekend celebrations.

Pictures of the drink were posted on Facebook , with the caption: "Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it! It’s amazing!"
