Fancy a fizzy, citrus cocktail with a hint of cherry? The shandy is a refreshing drink, enjoyed all over Europe. It’s known as aradler in Germany, and in France as apanaché or amonaco with lemon soda and grenadine. We swapped traditional lemon soda for our cherry orange blossom rooibos tea and favorite wheat beer, Erdinger Weissbier. Half beer, half tea, the shandy is a low ABV drink to enjoy all year round.
