How to Make a Traditional British Shandy (with Beer, the PROPER way)
All about a shandy, what it is and how to make it properly (without confusion about a translation from overseas)!
Equipment
- 2 glasses for beer
Ingredients
- 1 lemon-lime soda RD White's if you can find it (I recommend using one with sugar, no corn-syrup or sweeteners), chilled
- 1 beer/lager chilled or room temperature, depending on your preference
Instructions
- Pour half of the soda slowly into two tall beer glasses.
- Slowly pour half of the beer or lager into the glasses with soda, holding them at a 45 degree angle.
- Enjoy.
Notes
- This post is aimed at a US audience who have been misinformed as to the type of lemonade which is to be used in a traditional British shandy.
- The problem was the mis-translation of "lemonade" to mean American lemonade which is made from water, sugar and lemon juice, when in fact it should be soda.
