Foodie Fever: A Proper Shandy

The Kickass Shandy – a version by Crown & Anchor in Las Vegas

My drink of choice at a British pub is a Shandy.  I was introduced to this drink at the Princess Pub & Grille in Little Italy here in San Diego, and I have loved them ever since.  My husband doesn’t like it because he said it’s basically a beer spritzer.  But if you’re like me and can usually only handle a drink or two the entire evening, then you may enjoy a proper Shandy.  It’s basically half beer, and half citrus drink, but you can play with the portions as you wish to suit your taste.  The first time I had it was with Sprite, but I love the version with orange juice at Crown & Anchor (sans Red Bull).  Most say it’s a great summertime drink, but I think it’s great anytime.  Cheers and have a great weekend!
