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

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!
