in what proportions do you mix beer (pale lager) and apple juice?

asking because supermarket ran out of lemon soda.

I've never mixed both and I don't know if it's a good idea, due to taste and because apple juice doesn't have bubbles. Am I going to create a frankendrink?

...none, my god. Im 8 years sober and even im offended lol
Either 1:0 or 0:1, depending on my mood
- This is the way.
Not sure whether Germany or Belgium will start the war first, but it sounds like a great way to waste both perfectly good apple juice and perfectly good beer
- could be an American beer they are wasting apple juice in?
  
  No need to add water to perfectly good apple juice.
I've never heard of mixing beer and apple juice. Beer and lemonade for a Shandy or radler, sure, but apple juice??
I know in Asia mixing beer with tomato juice is somewhat common, but apple? I dunno...

  Mexico too, they call it a chelada.
  But beer with apple juice?
  
  Is it just mixed with, like, V8? I tried that and didn't care for it. It seemed like it muted the flavor of both the tomato juice and the beer. Should I be using pure tomato juice and not a blend like V8?
Snake bite is half cider, half beer, splash of blackcurrant, if my memory serves me.
- I remember it as just beer and cider, with the addition of blackcurrant making it a Purple Nasty, and all sorts of tales of how they allegedly reacted to make a vicious drink more than the sun of the parts that I am sure was fiction.
  And for Americans, this means alcoholic ciders, since they also call raw apple juice cider, and most Americans have no idea what a blackcurrant is (a delicious intense berry that was illegal to cultivate in the US for a lot of the recent past).
Sounds like a recipe for a headache.
No magic amount. Put a little of each in a small glass and see if the ratio works for you. By the third glass you’ll love any ratio.
lemon soda
How bout you squeeze a lemon and mix the juice with soda water?
You don’t mix that.. yuck.
I don’t know why you would want to do that? Just drink less beer?
Just mix to taste, you'll be fine.
- Just mix to taste…
  Or lack of.
  
  This post got me thinking, tho, how bout a boiler maker with applejack or apple brandy? I could see that working
Step one: pour beer down the drain
Step two: enjoy some apple juice
Step three: have a huge glass of water
I've never heard of this. But, when making the classic Brass Monkey you drink (or pour out for the homies) the Old E down to the top of the label, then refill with OJ. So maybe like a 1:5, 1:6 ratio, if that helps?
