instructions
Gather the ingredients.
In a large pitcher, combine the cranberry juice, ginger beer, and lemon juice. Stir well. Chill until you're ready to serve.
Before serving, rim tall glasses with a ginger-sugar rim, wetting the rim with lemon juice and rolling it in a mix of ground ginger and sugar.
Add beer to the pitcher just before serving.
Pour the shandy into the prepared glasses over ice, if desired. Garnish with a lemon wedge.
Serve and enjoy!
Tips
To make ginger sugar, combine 1 part white granulated sugar with 1/2 part ground ginger. Mix it well until you get a uniform light brown color.
If your shandy is chilled, there's really no need to add ice. The other option is to add ice to the pitcher.
Don't mix it up too early or you will lose some of the effervescence from the beers. You can also hold the beer, then top each glass with freshly tapped beer.
You will need two whole lemons to get 3 1/2 ounces of fresh-squeezed juice.
