Ingredients
- 12 oz Hefeweizen or American wheat ale or Belgian witbier
- 12 oz sparkling lemonade or orange soda
- slices of lemon or orange for garnish optional
Instructions
- Fill a glass halfway with Hefeweizen or other wheat ale. Wait for the typically thick, long lasting foam to settle a bit.
- Fill the rest of the glass with sparkling lemonade or orange soda and garnish with lemon or orange slice.
Notes
Be sure that both the wheat beer and the sparkling lemonade are very well chilled. Ice is typically not used in a shandy.
While the typical ratio between wheat beer and soda is 1:1 you can vary the proportions of the blend to pin point the flavor you enjoy the most.
Nutritional information is based on 1:1 blend of Bell's Oberon wheat ale and San Pellegrino Arranciata Rossa (blood orange soda). The soda has about 2 times more calories and sugar than the wheat beer. Going with higher ratio of beer relative to the soda will lower the overall calories.
