Lager and Lemon-Limeade

Submitted by januarybride

"A Rachael Ray recipe from the September 2008 edition of her magazine. Supposedly this was a drink served at the South by Southwest music festival in Austin, TX. NOTE: If you don't want yours quite as sweet, simply add the juice of a couple lime wedges and skip the sweetened lime juice. This is a really refreshing, light drink!"

A shandy with lime, interesting, the lime cuts the sweetness of the lemonade. A lovely refreshing drink, perfect after an afternoon of gardening. Thanks JB!

This was so good! Reminded me of a really good margarita. This was light and very refreshing. I can see them going over very well at Austin's SXSW event. I only had pink lemonade which gave this a blush sort of color. Very pretty. I think this would be equally pretty though with regular lemonade. I normally do not like beer but when I saw this I had to try it. So glad that I did! Wonderful drink Jan Bride! *Made for Bevy Tag*

It has just turned ordinary beer into a fruity alcohol-based lager, while it often keeps a sour aroma from the fruit juice.
