The Perfect Shandy

krashkart · 03-03-12, 08:17 AM

Or snakebites if ye prefer.

So we have this dinner thing going tonight and I want to amuse our guests with my limited mixology foo (Oh yes, they will laugh

). From what I've read a shandy is half-and-half beer and cider. I wonder if anyone here knows of any special recipes, certain mix proportions, etc...

...or we could just spam the thread with more beer talk (That's basically the point anyway).

Fire away!

Well, from my limited knowledge on the subject,

there is no wrong way to drink beer.

Cheers man.

If you want to get plastered rather quickly then try this
Lager snakebite, Stella and Strongbow cider

Depthcharges are fun. Drop a shot glass of whatever hard liquor you like into a large glass of beer then down the lot in one go.

Do we get extra points for swallowing the shot glass, too?

Forgive me for asking a possibly ignorant question, but what is this 'cordial' stuff I keep hearing about?

Jimbuna · 03-03-12, 07:02 PM

A cordial is like a watered down syrup and is concentrated in the flavour strength.

I mix peppermint cordial with my dark rum.

Since we have more experience with submarines than with depth charges, we call the drink "Uboot" here

In my region it's made with Jenever in a 0.2 liter Alt beer glass.
