It’s summertime folks and you know what that means. Prime summer shandy drinking time – obviously. And that couldn’t be made any clearer than by the fact that tonight’s Drink Craft Beer Summerfest will even feature a special “Shandy Station” for thirsty patrons.

But despite this brew-lemonade’s rising popularity, there are still many beer and cocktail drinkers who flat out refuse to mix their brew with any sort of sweet and tangy lemonade. Fortunately for them – and shandy lovers in general – there is now a summer shandy that everyone can drink.

The Beacon Hill Hotel & Bistro is now offering a special shandy cocktail called the Rhubarb Shandy. The concoction, which will be offered for a limited time during the summer, is truly the best of both worlds.

For $10, patrons can drink a mix of homemade rhubarb syrup, fresh lemon juice, vodka and Stella Artois. Or, they can also mix it up at home. Make your own summer shandy with this simple recipe from the Boston bar, below. And let us know how you like the libation in the comments below!
