Raspberry-Grapefruit Shandy

By Casa de Suna

Published Jul 20

Shandys are a light, refreshing drink to enjoy on the hottest of summer’s days.

We use a lager here for its clean and crisp flavour, but a light lager or even a blonde ale will work just as well.

How to Make It

Difficulty: Easy

Overall Time: 15 min

Prep Time: 15 min

Serves: 4

INGREDIENTS
  • 1⁄2 cup fresh raspberries, plus extra to garnish
  • 6 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 ounces water
  • 12 ounces fresh strained grapefruit juice, plus extra wedges to garnish
  • 2 cans (473 mL each) chilled lager

INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Combine raspberries with sugar and water in a liquid measuring cup. Using a wooden spoon, muddle the fruit, working until raspberries are fully crushed and sugar has dissolved. Set a fine-mesh sieve over another measuring cup, then pass the mixture through the sieve, pressing to release as much liquid as possible. Discard remaining seeds. (You should have about 5 ounces of raspberry mixture).
  2. Divide raspberry mixture among 4 beer glasses filled with ice. Pour over grapefruit juice, stirring to combine. Top with beer. Garnish with additional raspberries and grapefruit wedges. Serve immediately.
