Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from about 4 lemons), plus wedges, for serving (optional)
8 mild pilsner beers (12 ounces each)

Steps:

  • Place eight 16-ounce glasses or mugs in the freezer.
  • In a small saucepan, combine sugar and 3/4 cup water over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Refrigerate until cool, at least 10 minutes and up to 1 week.
  • In a 2-cup liquid measure or small pitcher, combine sugar mixture and lemon juice. Pour 1 beer into each chilled glass; add about 1/4 cup lemon mixture and, if desired, a lemon wedge. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ingredients: Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. If you don't have access to fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will not be as bright.
  • Chill the ingredients: Chilling the ingredients before making the shandy will help to create a refreshing drink.
  • Use a light beer: A light beer will allow the lemon flavor to shine through. A good option is a pilsner or a wheat beer.
  • Add a garnish: A lemon wedge or a sprig of mint will add a nice touch to your shandy.
  • Experiment with different flavors: You can add other flavors to your shandy, such as ginger, lime, or berries. You can also use different types of beer, such as a dark beer or an IPA.

Conclusion:

The Touchdown Lemon Shandy is a refreshing and easy-to-make drink that is perfect for any occasion.
