Time 2m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 2

4 (12-fluid ounce) bottles lager beer, chilled (recommended: Heineken)
1 (25.4-fluid ounce) bottle sparkling apple cider, chilled

Steps:

  • Slowly pour the beer into a 10-cup capacity pitcher and slowly add the sparkling cider.
  • Pour the shandy into frosted glasses and serve immediately
  • Cook's Note: The ingredients can be divided and served in 2 smaller pitchers.

Tips:

  • Choose a high-quality apple cider. The flavor of your shandy will depend on the quality of the apple cider you use. Look for a cider that is made with fresh apples and has a crisp, clean flavor.
  • Use a light beer. A light beer will allow the flavors of the apple cider to shine through. Avoid using a heavy or dark beer, as it will overpower the cider.
  • Add some fresh fruit or herbs. For extra flavor, add some fresh fruit or herbs to your shandy. Some good options include slices of apple, orange, or lemon, or sprigs of mint or rosemary.
  • Serve your shandy chilled. Shandys are best served chilled. You can chill them in the refrigerator or over ice.

Conclusion:

Apple cider shandy is a refreshing and flavorful drink that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a delicious and refreshing drink, give apple cider shandy a try!
