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.

- 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.

GRILLED LEMON SHANDY
Steps:
- Light a grill and set it up for direct heat or preheat a grill pan. Oil the grates and grill the halved lemons cut side down over high heat until nicely browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Meanwhile, grill the lemon slices, turning once, until nicely charred on both sides, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let cool slightly. Squeeze the juice from the halved lemons into a liquid measuring cup until you have about 3/4 cup.
- In a pitcher, combine the grilled lemon juice with the simple syrup and the ice water. Stir until the lemonade is well chilled.
- Pour the beers into six large glasses and top each with about ½ cup of lemonade. Garnish with a grilled lemon slice and serve.
