Shandy
Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index

Shandy

A shandy is a cocktail made from a mixture of beer (often ale) and lemonade to taste (normally half-and-half).

A variant on this is the lager top in which a small measure of lemonade is added to a pint or half-pint of lager. In some areas, tomato juice is mixed with beer as a cocktail.

In Bavaria a mix of helles Bier (lager) and lemonade is called a Radler (a Radler is also a person that rides a bicycle), as opposed to a mix of Weißbier (wheat beer) and lemonade, which is called a Russ.

In northern Germany a shandy is called an Alsterwasser.
