Mix up a batch of seasonal Meyer Lemon Shandies for your guests as you watch the Big Game! This twist on a classic Shandy celebrates winter citrus. First, make a tart Meyer Lemonade that will serve as the base for this cocktail. When the lemonade has chilled, pour in a fruity wheat beer. Garnish with a slice of Meyer lemon, and enjoy. These Shandies make a delightfully tart tailgating drink, as well as a simple sipper for any winter get-together.

Notes
Please note that the recipe total time does NOT include chill time.Meyer lemons will vary in sweetness, so when you are making your lemonade, start off with 1 tablespoon of sugar. If the lemonade is too tart, add more sugar. Just do so slowly and intentionally so you don’t oversweeten it.
