A Lemon Shandy is a summer staple. This beverage is light and sweet! It makes the perfect poolside beverage without being too sugary or boozy. The nice thing about making a Lemon Shandy, is that you can customize it to your liking by using your favorite beer! I chose an IPA. The IPA style of beer is hoppy and sometimes a little bitter, which works really well with the tartness of the lemons that go into this drink.
One of the best parts of this drink is the sugar rim! Adding sugars to the rims of your glassware is really simple. You’ll want to rub a lemon around the rim and then gently touch the rim to a plate of sugar. Browse these cocktails too!
