Ginger beer shandy

[Doctor Phibes]

I've rediscovered this drink this winter - I mix a strong IPA without about 1/3 - 1/2 as much ginger beer, either Goslings or Fever Tree as they aren't two sweet and have a bit of bite.

It's delicious, and slows down the alcohol content a bit, which at my advanced age is probably a good idea.

Thank you for giving me an excuse to buy more Fever Tree…

The thread title brings back memories ... it has been many years since my last shandy.

Yeah, lower alcohol consumption is big in the Mik house too. This week I’ve been sipping an Italian white - 5.6% by volume and very tasty. We’re on a pretty strict two drink limit, and that only a couple times a week. I don’t get hungover, just sluggish.

Moderation claims another victim. I wouldn’t mind so much if the bar didn’t keep getting higher.
