Yes, I am aware that it is not Summer. And yes, I am also aware that the weather in pretty much all of the Unites States has been less than lovely as of late. But...I like to use any sunny day starting in April as an excuse to drink Summertime drinks...even if it is Sunny and 45 degrees.

Summer Shandy's are light, delicious and everything that I like about warmer weather. This mixture of beer and lemonade can be bought pre-made by many beer manufacturers, the most popular being Leinenkugel's version. And they are delicious.
But to bring up the "fancy factor" a bit, why not make your own at home? Here's a recipe for a Sparkling Shandy that is just as easy to make as it is delicious. Enjoy!

Yum! I will definitely have to try this. I have to confess that even though it has been very cold in MN, once Summer Shandy hit the shelves, I had to have one!

This is delicious! Also easy to do with twice the kick- mix your light beer with Mike's Hard Lemonade. We call them "Turbos" for a reason!
Sounds so good! I will definitely be trying one of these soon. It's suppose to hit 90 degrees in LA next week so these are just in time.
