Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     German

Time 5m

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 (12 ounce) bottle lager-style beer
½ cup prepared lemonade

Steps:

  • Pour the beer into a pint glass. Slowly add the lemonade; stir gently.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 202.7 calories, Carbohydrate 25.6 g, Cholesterol 0 mg, Fat 0 g, Fiber 0 g, Protein 1.7 g, SaturatedFat 0 g, Sodium 19.2 mg, Sugar 12.4 g

Tips:

  • Choose a high-quality beer. The flavor of your shandy will be largely determined by the beer you use. Choose a beer that you enjoy drinking on its own, and that has a flavor profile that you think will complement the lemonade.
  • Use freshly squeezed lemonade. Freshly squeezed lemonade has a much brighter and more flavorful taste than store-bought lemonade. If you don't have time to make your own lemonade, you can use a high-quality store-bought lemonade, but be sure to taste it before you add it to your shandy to make sure that it's not too sweet.
  • Use a ratio of 2 parts beer to 1 part lemonade. This is a good starting point, but you can adjust the ratio to suit your own taste. If you like a sweeter shandy, add more lemonade. If you prefer a more bitter shandy, add more beer.
  • Add some flavored syrups or juices to your shandy. This is a great way to add some extra flavor and complexity to your shandy. Some popular options include lemon, lime, grapefruit, and orange. You can also add a splash of grenadine or bitters for a more unique flavor.
  • Garnish your shandy with a slice of fruit or a sprig of mint. This will add a touch of visual appeal and make your shandy even more refreshing.

Conclusion:

A shandy is a refreshing and flavorful drink that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to suit your own taste. So next time you're looking for a delicious and refreshing drink, give shandy a try!
