Questions about Shandy
How do you make a shandy?
Pour chilled beer into a glass, then add chilled lemonade slowly to keep the foam in check. Equal parts is a good starting point; use more lemonade for a lighter, sweeter drink.
What beer is best for a shandy?
A light lager or pale ale works well because it leaves room for the lemonade’s citrus flavour. Avoid strongly bitter or heavily flavoured beers if you want a classic-tasting shandy.
Can you make a shandy without alcohol?
Yes. Mix alcohol-free beer with lemonade in the same way, adding the lemonade slowly; taste as you go because some alcohol-free beers are already quite sweet.
What is a shandygaff?
Shandygaff is a traditional name for beer mixed with ginger beer. It has a spicier flavour than the familiar beer-and-lemonade shandy.
What food goes well with shandy?
Its lemony sweetness suits salty, crisp foods such as fish and chips, sausage rolls and salted crisps. It also works with a barbecue, where the citrus cuts through smoky flavours.
Is shandy the same as a Radler?
They are closely related: both mix beer with a citrus soft drink. Radler commonly refers to a beer-and-lemonade or citrus-soda mix, while shandy is the familiar British name; recipes and names differ between places.
Does shandy still contain alcohol?
A shandy made with ordinary beer does contain alcohol, even though the lemonade dilutes it. For an alcohol-free drink, use alcohol-free beer rather than assuming a shandy is alcohol-free.
Should you mix shandy in advance?
It is best mixed just before serving: once the beer and lemonade are combined, the fizz fades. Chill both ingredients first so the drink stays refreshing without needing ice.
