Citrus Shandy beer cocktail recipe
Photo and drink styling by Emma Fishman

Easy. Relaxing. Refreshing. Sunny. Filled with fruit and flavor. Yes, that describes your ideal summer, but also the shandy, the season’s most accessible cocktail. Keep a premixed batch of fresh juice and seasoning in your fridge to pour into a glass of light beer and ice whenever the sunny vibe needs to be turned up to 11.
