Yield Makes 6 drinks

6 lemons, halved plus 1 lemon, sliced into 6 rounds
1/2 cup simple syrup (see Note)
1 3/4 cups ice water
Six 12-ounce pilsners

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.

A recipe I found on "About.com" for Spanish beverages. Here is what is stated: Most of Spain is hot in the summers, so Spaniards have plenty of ways to keep cool. So, "claras" or lemon beer, (also known as a Shandy) is a popular summertime drink. Luckily, it is easy to make and is very refreshing.
