  • 1 ½ cups cold water
  • 2 cups sugar
  • Light beer

Directions:

  • To make this beer cocktail, you will need to start by removing the zest from the lemons but don’t remove the white part. Use a vegetable peeler to get larger pieces rather than grating.
  • Now juice the lemons and place the juice with the zest in a saucepan.
  • Add the sugar and water and heat the mixture slowly over medium heat.
  • Stir constantly until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture just starts to boil.
  • Pour the mixture into sterilized glass jars and allow to cool.
  • Refrigerate this mixture until you are ready to make your shandy.
  • Pour light beer into a beer glass but allow some room to top with the lemon concentrate.
  • Add a few tablespoons of concentrate and taste regularly until you reach the desired taste.
  • Take note of how much you add so that you will know in the future just the way you like it!
  • Garnish with some fresh lemon and enjoy!

  • 1 fresh grapefruit (peeled and cut into wedges)
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
