Shandy

Shandy
Radler Half beer, half lemon soda, and the easiest yes on this list for anyone who likes a cold lemonade. The citrus covers what lager haters usually object to, and the alcohol drops to roughly half that of the beer, so a radler made with a 6 percent festival beer lands near 3 percent. The German name means cyclist, and a popular story credits a Bavarian innkeeper in 1922, though British pubs were already mixing beer and lemonade as shandy decades earlier. Austria's Stiegl makes the ready-made versions worth hunting down: the cloudy lemon Radler pictured, and a Grapefruit Radler that blends its lager with grapefruit soda, both at only about 2 to 2.5 percent depending on the market.
