How to Make a Refreshing Shandy Cocktail

Looking for a light and refreshing cocktail to enjoy on a hot summer day? Look no further than the classic shandy. This easy-to-make drink combines the crispness of beer with the tangy sweetness of lemonade for a delightful and thirst-quenching experience.

To make a shandy, you'll need your favorite beer and some fresh lemonade. Start by pouring your desired amount of beer into a glass. Some popular choices include lagers, pilsners, and wheat beers, but feel free to experiment with different styles to find your perfect shandy combination.

Next, add the lemonade. The amount you add will depend on your personal taste preferences. Start with a 50/50 ratio of beer to lemonade and adjust from there. If you prefer a sweeter drink, you can add more lemonade. For a crisper taste, stick to a higher proportion of beer.

Gently stir the mixture to combine the flavors, being careful not to create too much foam. Once your shandy is mixed to your liking, you can garnish it with a slice of lemon or a sprig of mint for an extra touch of freshness.

Now that you know how to make a shandy, it's time to sit back, relax, and enjoy this delicious and refreshing beverage. Whether you're lounging by the pool, hosting a backyard barbecue, or simply looking for a way to cool off after a long day, a shandy is the perfect drink to quench your thirst and satisfy your taste buds.


Best served in a Beer Mug.
