Lemon Shandy
When the sunshine hits, there's nothing better than cracking open a fizzy, refreshing Lemon Shandy. The store-bought versions can be overly sweet, though, so if you're looking for something you can control and will taste exactly the way you like it, you're in the right place.
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup water
- 1 ⅓ cups chilled sparkling water
- ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice
- 4 bottles chilled wheat beer (12 ounces each) (we used Weihenstephaner Hefe)
Instructions
- In small saucepot, heat sugar and 1/3 cup water to boiling over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. When all sugar is dissolved, remove from heat and let cool. Transfer to jar and refrigerate until chilled.
- In small pitcher, stir together sparkling water, lemon juice and sugar syrup until well combined.
- Pours beer into chilled pint glasses and top each glass with sparkling lemonade. Serve immediately.
Notes
Our favorite is wheat beer (Weihenstephaner Hefe is one we prefer), but pilsners and saisons are also great choices for a lemon shandy.
