Freestyle your watermelon shandy
Our recipe pairs wonderfully with a wheat beer or pale lager, but feel free to customize your drink to suit your taste. You can easily swap the beer for a citrus-flavored hard cider or hard lemonade. If you prefer a non-alcoholic option, consider using ginger beer, which is typically alcohol-free. For those looking for a stronger kick, adding curaçao or a shot of rum—derived from fermented sugarcane juice—can enhance the sweetness.
To give your drink an extra zesty twist, mix in a splash of lemon, lime, grapefruit, or pineapple juice for a tangy boost that brings your shandy back to its origins. You can stick to our three-ingredient recipe without needing vanilla syrup; alternatives like agave nectar, mint syrup, simple syrup, honey syrup, or grenadine can all enrich the flavor of your shandy. If fresh watermelon isn’t available, you can substitute it with watermelon Italian ice for a refreshing frozen version.
Regardless of what you have in your fridge or bar, there's a good chance you can whip up a quick cocktail. Shandies are a fantastic choice when you're short on groceries due to their flexibility and affordability. Cheers to enhancing your beer with this delightful three-ingredient take on a British classic!
