Lemon "Shendy" (beer cocktail)

Category: The drinks
Lemon Shandy (beer cocktail)

Ingredients

Light beer (unfiltered wheat is possible and even tastier for me) 0,5 l
Limoncello 50-70 ml
Lemon juice 50 ml
Ice 2-4 large cubes
Lemon or carambola slice

Cooking method

  • Beer is considered a traditional alcoholic drink in hot weather. Yes, true beer lovers will forgive me, but sometimes you want variety. Especially in the absence and prohibitively high prices for expensive and interesting beers. A whole group of beer-based cocktails can help us out here. The most beloved and demanded on all continents is a whole class of cocktails called Shandy. You can read more about them in the note.
  • We don't really like to dilute beer with industrial lemonade, so I made the version with limoncello and natural lemon juice several times. It turns out a delicious cocktail, while the degree does not drop, as is the case with lemonade, but, on the contrary, rises slightly. But a couple of ice cubes help you reach a compromise with your own conscience! Try this option too. Of course, the beer must be very good, not bitter and well chilled. Start with a plain white quality beer. If you like it, then try with unfiltered wheat.
  • And the exact ratio of ingredients for your personal taste can only be determined empirically!
  • Chin-chin!

The dish is designed for

2 glasses

Note

In addition to beer (in many of its variants), classic shandy is supplemented with lemonade or citrus fizzy, ginger beer or ale, and sometimes cider. The ratio is usually 1: 1. However, this is a matter of taste.

It would be rather tedious to list all the variants of the shandi, but we will nevertheless present several versions from different countries.

France and Italy - Panaché ("mixed" or "colored"): light beer with carbonated lemonade, 1: 1. Another drop of grenadine - we get Monaco.
Spain - Xampu (yes, "shampoo") or Clara: wheat beer + homemade lemonade (about 60:40).
Britain - Shandygaff (beer + ginger ale, 1: 1) or Lager top (beer + a couple of tablespoons of lime juice).

But perhaps the greatest variety of shendi in Germany. Here are just a few of them:
Radler ("Cyclist"): lager + carbonated lemonade or cola;
Brummbär ("Bruzga") - porter + cola
Alster ("Alster", after the name of the river in northern Germany): Pilsner + lemonade;
Russ'n ("Russian"): white beer + lemonade;
Colaweizen: Hefeweizen (wheat beer) + cola;
Flieger ("Aviator"), aka Neger, aka Turbo: white beer + cola;
Altbier Cola: Altbier (highly fermented beer) + cola + Kirsch (fruit brandy).

Often, instead of lemonade, some kind of syrup is added to the shandy. For example, in Germany you will be offered strawberry, in Poland - ginger, and in France - peach.

Ingredients:
200 ml beer (or ale)
200 ml lemonade
2 drops of grenadine syrup

Recommended glass:
Cocktail 'Shandy' / 'Shandy' (Beer)
Beer glass (pub / pint glass)

Cooking method:
First, pour lemonade into a beer glass.
Top up with beer, do not mix.

I don’t drink beer, but then I remembered that I drank a dark "Master" in Prague - there were light plum-cherry notes in it (maybe I didn’t catch some more). Now, looking at your work, I again wanted to taste something like that!
You are a temptress Olya!

Previously, Nevskoe Lemon beer was on sale. Then it disappeared, but I still remember the taste. I will definitely try it when the "namesake" has a bottle of beer. And then he, like Tsar-Koschey over him in the refrigerator "wasted away", knows for counting on what day of the week he will use what amount for good and for health.

So laugh, to tears! How thoroughly and scientifically you use your namesake! There is only one way out - to start your own cabinet for wine and drinks and also paint everything, and no, no!
