Traditional Shandy (Shandygaff) Recipe

Notes

A Shandy or Shandygaff is a mixed drink made with half beer and half ginger beer, ginger-ale or carbonated lemon soda. For this recipe I'm recommending a seltzer bottle or soda syphon for homemade lemonade with a touch of flair. Store bought soda water or even lemon soda is a perfectly acceptable substitution.

Ingredients

  • 4 lemons
  • 4 limes
  • 4 cup Seltzer water
  • 3 bottles Beer (Pilsner)
  • 3/4 cup Sugar
  • Fresh Ginger

Instructions:

  1. Juice the lemons and limes into a small bowl.
  2. Disolve the sugar in the juice. (add a little of the water if needed)
  3. Pour the juice into the serving pitcher.
  4. Add the soda water followed by the beer.
  5. In each glass add a thin slice of peeled fresh Ginger, or a lemon slice
