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!
