How Do You Make A Shandy?

[Valeriea]

Hello, Does anybody know how to make a delicious shandy please in a 1 pint glass? Is it better to use Beer or Lager? Thanks in advance.

Half and half. Usually beer but lager is OK according to taste

Half cold lemonade to same lager

[ummmm]

Either...50/50 beer/lager and lemo.

The better the beer and lemonade the better the shandy. One tip put the beer in first or it will "fob" and give you a big frothy head and overflow the glass or bucket.

If I ordered a shandy at the pub and they used lager not ale then there would be a complaint. If one wishes to substitute one of the traditional ingredients the buyer should specify the change. It's usually expected to be mixed 50:50 but like many things, you can do it "to taste".

Bitter beer and lemonade. Half and half.

[EDDIE51]

Has to be bitter (ale) not larger.

You can get a similar taste by drinking beer alone, and then poking your fingers down your throat.

^ But please leave the bar area first...

I used to put regular beer (whatever that was) and lemonade. All basic stuff; half and half.

No ice, though.
