The Hibiscus Shandy

March 22nd, 2017

Serves 1

This rosy-hued refresher is a play on a French-style "Bière Monaco,” traditionally made with equal parts lager, lemon soda and grenadine. Here, a few updates yield a more regal drink. Lemon Italian soda provides a concentrated and not-too-sweet flavor, while a splash of homemade Hibiscus Syrup creates a pretty pink color.

Ingredients:
3/4 cup crisp lager-style beer, such as Victory Prima Pils, chilled
3/4 cup lemon Italian soda, chilled
1 tablespoon Hibiscus Syrup, chilled
Lemon slice for garnish

Method:
Combine lager, lemon soda and syrup in a tall beer glass and stir until blended. Garnish with lemon slice.
