Ginger Shandy
If you fancy something as soothing but a tad more refreshing than my Calm Herbal Tea, then try this cooling Ginger Shandy! It it a non-too-alcoholic tipple with a little spice! Cheers!
Ingredients (serves 1):
3 ice cubes
45 millilitres/1 1/2 ounce (3 tablespoons) good Whisky (like The Glen Grant’s Arboralis)
15 millilitres/1/2 ounce (1 tablespoon)Â Honey Syrup
1/2 ripe, juicy lemon
250 millilitres/1 cup ginger-flavoured craft beer (like the excellent Hatherwood’s The Ginger Grizzly N°6), well-chilled*
Place ice cubes in serving glass. Add Whisky and Honey Syrup. Give a gentle stir to combine.
Cut 3 thin slices in the lemon halve and add them to the glass. Top with chilled ginger-flavoured craft beer.
*If you can’t find a ginger-flavoured beer, muddle a piece of fresh ginger (about half a thumb) in a cocktail shaker and strain into a the glass with the Whisky and Honey Syrup. It is better, I find, than using ginger beer as it won’t water down your drink.
Enjoy your Ginger Shandy immediately.
