    The Iced Tea and Beer Summer Shandy Cocktail is a refreshing drink that combines your favorite beer with iced tea and lemon juice. The perfect spring or summer sipper!

    Cocktails can get as fancy and complicated as you want, or be as simple as you like. Personally, I tend to lean toward the simple side when mixing up cocktails. That was the inspiration for this refreshing iced tea and beer summer shandy.

    🌟 Why this cocktail is perfect for summer

    iced tea and beer cocktail with yellow flowers and garnished with lemon wedge.
    • Just 3, easy-to-find ingredients: All you need for this cocktail is iced tea, beer, and lemon.
    • Fast: This drink takes just minutes to prepare!
    • Low-calorie: Each serving is just over 100 calories.

    🛒 Ingredient notes

    Owl's Brew tea for cocktails, Rogue Brewing Spruce Tip IPA, iced tea and beer cocktail with yellow flowers.

    Iced tea - I use The Owl's Brew for this recipe. It's the first reported tea crafted specifically for cocktails.

    Beer - I like to use an IPA for this cocktail to add some hoppy flavor.

    ✅ Step-by-step instructions

    Iced tea and beer cocktail made with Owl's Brew tea and Rogue Brewing IPA.
    1. Pour iced tea and beer into a tall beer glass.
    2. Squeeze fresh lemon juice into the glass.
    3. Garnish with lemon wedge.

    ❓Recipe FAQs

    iced tea and beer cocktail with Iced  with Owl's Brew tea.
    What's the difference between a shandy and a radler?

    Some say the names are interchangeable. Traditionally, a shandy is made with beer and lemonade while a radler can be made with beer and various fruit juices.

    Can I use a lager instead of an IPA

    Absolutely! A lager will provide a lighter beer flavor to this cocktail. I prefer a more hoppy taste so I opted for an IPA.

    🍽 What to serve with this cocktail

    This iced tea and beer cocktail is a great complement to backyard barbecue fare like Filipino Pork Barbecue Skewers, a BBQ Bacon Burger, or a Southwest BBQ Chicken Salad.

          The Classic is delicious and I can't wait to pick up more flavors to try as well. In Oregon, you can get them at Whole Foods Market, Zupan's, Green Zebra Grocers, Crate & Barrel, Williams Sonoma, and several different liquor stores!
