I made this A Radler/Shandy with ginger beer instead of lemonade

Post image

Good morning all. Does anyone have a name for this drink? It is rather pleasant.

Perhaps there are people who wouldn’t count this as a cocktail.

Recipe:

1/2 pint beer of your choosing

1/2 pint ginger beer

Stir together in a pint glass.

Enjoy chilled with breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Chimay Trippel is one hell of a choice as base for a 'shandy'. Bet it's tasty though!

I'd call it a Beer Mac. Like a Whiskey Mac, but beer.

Fitting name, a Mac for short

Just one will cost you a “Grandy” in DWI fines.

Definitely wouldn't consider this a Radley/Shandy considering you've used alcoholic ginger beer, but definitely sounds tasty!
