A snakebite is an alcoholic drink made with equal parts of lager and cider.
Snakebite in the United Kingdom may be served with a dash of blackcurrant cordial, referred to as a snakebite and black. Stout may be used instead of lager in the United States.
Snakebite and black is also known by the names Pink Panther and diesel. In West Yorkshire, snakebite and black is colloquially known as Gaylord. A stronger variant involves the addition of a shot of vodka, known as a turbo diesel.

Availability in the UK
Snakebite is typically served in pints. Serving a snakebite from separate cider and lager taps or bottles is not illegal 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. Pub manager Jamie Allen said "It's illegal to serve it here in the UK."
It is also the traditional drink of several universities; it is known as a Purple at the University of Warwick, a Nasty at Loughborough University, and a "Snakey B" at the University of East Anglia. Its colour lends its name to Purple Wednesday, the official student night at Portsmouth University.
