RADLER



Radler image

Radler means 'cyclist' in German, and this refreshing drink was invented in Germany in the late 19th or early 20th century as a way to refresh bicyclists worn out by the summer heat. It is a 50/50 or 60/40 mixture of beer and lemonade and is a delicious addition to the menu of your summer barbeque or party.

RADLER--WONDERFUL GERMAN BEER/LEMONADE CONCOCTION



Radler--Wonderful German Beer/Lemonade Concoction image

I spent some time in wonderful Munich Germany last fall and found myself drawn to the beer taps to ask for Radler after Radler. I was a solitary traveler just trying to soak up some of the culture and was so curious what they were mixing up with their beer as I watched them pour. So I asked and have tried to make my own version with what we have to work with here in the US.

"RADLER MASS" (GERMAN BEER COOLER)



As I watch my dear food network right now, it's on Dinner Impossible with Robert making meals from beer, and this reminds me of something I learned when I was living in the southern part of Germany. I figured I should share this as we don't get anything like this in the U.S. but it's really good. I normally don't like beer that much because it's too bitter for my taste most times, and German beer is the strongest I know! Anyway, this recipe can be made with any kind of beer but dark beer works really well. The combination sweetens up the beer a little, lowers the alcohol content even more, and gives it a unique taste, it's a little sweeter and less bitter, I guess you could call this the German version of a wine cooler... try it for your next party, even those who don't normally choose beer as their drink at a party will like it.

Time 5m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup beer (or any amount you like)
1 cup carbonated lemon-lime beverage (I use 7-up, but Sprite, or even generic lemon lime works)
ice
1 lemon twist (garnish) (optional)

Steps:

  • Take equal parts of beer and lemon lime soda over just a little ice to keep it chilled; be careful it will foam up a lot so take it slow. As you come to taste it, you can change how much beer or soda - if you really like beer the combination can be 3/4 beer to 1/4 soda (or vice versa if you don't like beer that much but want a taste of it). In Germany, at least where I lived in the Bavarian area in the south, this is very popular with the young people. Worth a try! :).

Provided by Kat Odell

Categories     Beer     Cocktail

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 bottle (375 ml) sour beer, such as Almanac Citra Sour, chilled
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup honey
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 piece (3 inches by 1 inch) grapefruit peel
1 1/2 cups fresh grapefruit juice (from 2 grapefruits), strained to remove pulp and seeds

Steps:

  • Combine the water, honey, rosemary, and grapefruit peel in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and stir to dissolve the sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the syrup has reduced by two-thirds, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
  • Remove and discard the rosemary. Pour the syrup into a glass jar, then add the grapefruit juice. Cover and shake to incorporate.
  • Fill a pint glass three-quarters full with the sour beer (feel free to drink the rest!). Add 3/4 ounce (or more to taste) of the grapefruit-rosemary syrup and stir gently to combine. Add ice cubes to fill the glass.
  • Do Ahead
  • Grapefruit-Rosemary Syrup will keep, covered and refrigerated, for about 1 week.

RADLER

A few years ago, I visited the famous Hofbrau Haus in Munich, Germany. This is what I ordered - delightful on a hot summer day! It's also a summer staple in Austria. Of course, you can just order a Summer Shandy, but why not mix your very own Radler?!
