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.
