Today we're making the Shandy! Well, three different versions of it, anyway. This simple beer cocktail has been evolving ever since its origins as the Shandygaff in England. It's only two ingredients, lemonade and beer, but there's still room for variation. We'll be mixing up the American-style Shandy I grew up with, my take on a traditional British Shandy, and an original variation of my own called the Shallow Draft. They're all lower in alcohol and incredibly easy to make. So mix one up and head outside. Cheers!
