Ingredients

  • 24 oz Red Stripe Lager Beer (2 beers)
  • 2 cups Ginger Beer
  • ½ cup Lime Juice
  • 1 tablespoon Crystalized Ginger

Instructions

  • Mix the Red Stripe, Ginger Beer, and lime juice together in a pitcher.
  • Add the crystallized ginger to each of your glasses and muddle them as fine as you can.
  • Fill each glass with the shandy mixture.
  • Garnish with fresh lime or lemon slices.

Notes

Refrigerate the lager and ginger beer.
Freeze your beer glasses ahead of time. The colder the better for this recipe. This is a drink for those hot days
Tweak the ratios for the different liquids based on your taste preferences. Go heavier on the lime juice if you want this more refreshing. Add more ginger beer for an even lighter beer vibe. Or you can go equal parts beer and ginger beer.
For a more lemony vibe you could substitute crystallized lemon and a lemony drink like homemade lemonade or lemon-lime soda
I prefer lime, followed closely by lemon as my citrus of choice but you could easily go for an orange juice or grapefruit shandy.
If you're not a big beer drinker or just prefer low bitterness, you can add some simple syrup to sweeten things a bit more. I personally find that the ginger beer and candied ginger offer up enough sweetness.
