Shandy time

Happy Memorial Day!

Hopefully, weather permitting, you are at the lake or lounging by the pool on this long weekend.

No matter where you are, it’s a great time for a new, refreshing drink. May I introduce you to the Shandy.

It’s literally a two-step drink — half beer and half carbonated lemonade.

It’s great for the girl who likes an occasional beer, but doesn’t want the heaviness of it. Sarah and I indulged in these during the Super Bowl and they were delish.

For beer, I chose Boulevard Wheat, which is made in Kansas City, Mo. It’s refreshing and has a light citrus flavor.

Next, add a splash (or more) of the sour and sweet sparkling lemonade — my choice is San Pellegrino Limonata. Pucker up!

And voila! Summer’s here. Enjoy and have a safe weekend.
