What Is A Summer Shandy?
A Shandy is a light beverage that usually blends equal parts of beer and lemonade. The result is a beverage with a refreshing natural lemonade flavor (that’s not too sweet) and a hint of malt.
I love using my Maple Lemonade recipe as a base because it adds some truly unique flavor to this drink. You can also make a shandy with pretty much any kind of fruit juice or clear soda you want.Â
This beer cocktail dates back to the nineteenth century, with the original recipe mixing a light beer with ginger ale, similar to this Summer Beer. However, you can customize this recipe with your favorite fruity flavors, so it’s just the way you like it.

What Is The Difference Between A Shandy and A Radler?
The German radler was invented after the summer shandy, and involved beer mixed with lemonade. These two cocktails are similar, but there is one key difference.
Both beverages involve beer mixed with sodas or juice, however, radlers usually involve citrusy blends.
Depending on your preferences, you can create a sparkling lemon and lime, lemonade, or crisp grapefruit radler.
A shandy can include these tangy mix-ins, but can also be made with ginger beer or ale, peach juice or schnapps, or apple or orange juice. Both terms are often used interchangeably; a radler is always a shandy, however, a shandy isn’t always a radler … get it?
This drink also goes by the name panaché in France.
