Description: A simple, refreshing half-and-half blend of lager and lemonade, popular across the UK and Europe as a low-alcohol summer drink.
Cultural Background: Long a staple of British pub culture, particularly popular during warm weather as a lighter alternative to straight beer.
Tips: Use a light, crisp lager rather than a heavy or hoppy beer, which can clash with the lemonade.
Variations: Using ginger beer instead of lemonade makes a spicier variant sometimes called a "Ginger Shandy."
Serving Suggestion: Serve very cold, in a pint glass, as an easy, low-alcohol refresher.

FAQs:
Q: Is this the same as a Radler?
