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.
