Definiția și Sensul lui "shandy"

What is "shandy"?

Shandy is a refreshing and light alcoholic drink that is typically made by mixing beer with a non-alcoholic beverage, such as lemonade or soda. The proportions of beer and mixer can vary depending on personal preference, but typically range from 1:1 to 3:1. The drink is usually served over ice in a tall glass, and may be garnished with a slice of lemon or lime. Shandy has a crisp and effervescent taste, and is often enjoyed as a thirst-quencher on warm summer days. It is a popular drink in many countries, particularly in the United Kingdom where it is a traditional pub drink. Shandy is also sometimes used as a lower-alcohol alternative to beer, as the added mixer can reduce the alcohol content and make the drink more sessionable.
