Best Classic Shandy Recipes
LEMONGRASS SHANDY
When I used to play pro squash in France, I would always have a shandy afterwards. It's incredibly cool and refreshing has just a hint of booze. Depending on what country you are in, a shandy is made with a lager and either lemonade, lemon-lime soda or a great French beverage called Limonad. I'm adding the lemon flavor via a lemongrass syrup and a wedge of lemon. The good news is you could enjoy it without ever touching a squash racket.

Steps:
- Place the lemongrass in a fine strainer and rinse well. In a saucepan with 1 cup water, simmer the lemongrass, ginger, zest and sugar and reduce by three-quarters to a syrup. Chill overnight, then strain the next day.
- When you are ready for the cocktail, pour a nice light lager into a glass with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the syrup and juice from 1 wedge of lemon.
PALE GINGER SHANDY
A shandy is the classic combo of beer and lemonade. Spicy ginger syrup and tart lemon juice round out the hoppy ale, with an extra burst of bubbles from club soda. Add leftover ginger syrup to a bowl of berries for a simple dessert.

Steps:
- Heat the sugar, ginger and 1/2 cup water in a small sauce pan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, and stir to melt the sugar. Remove from the heat and allow to steep and cool for 15 minutes, then strain (should make about 3/4 cup). Reserve the unused ginger syrup for another use.
- Mix 1/4 cup of the syrup with the lemon juice in a large liquid measuring cup. Add the club soda. Divide between two chilled beer chalices. Pour half of the beer into each glass. Garnish each with a lemon slice and serve.
