Refreshing Summer Panache
Refreshing Summer Panache
This refreshing summer bevy known in France and Italy as a Panache, in England as a Shandy, and in Germany as a Radler, is a lovely fusion of pale ale and sparkling lemonade. Simple. Easy. Delicious. For a hot, summer day.
Summer Panache
- Pale ale
- San Pellegrino sparkling water
- Fresh lemon juice
- Sugar
Combine equal parts chilled Pale Ale and San Pellegrino in a tall glass. Add freshly squeezed lemon and sugar to taste. Stir to combine. (Alternatively, substitute a french style lemonade for the Pellegrino, fresh lemon juice & sugar. It just happened I had the latter 3 ingredients on hand. And it was delicious!)
PS. Adding grenadine to the mix makes a Monaco!

It’s a shandy in Australia too and I’ve only had it once. I don’t think it was made like yours – I’m going to try it. Looks yummy.
Hi Maureen in beautiful Australia! You’re right, there are variations btwn the Shandy/Panache/Radler tho all are based on the same theme of beer & something sparkly. So lovely to hear from you! xoxo
