Shandys (or radlers) originated in Europe, with versions dating back to 1850s England and 1950s Germany. Like many tasty traditions, this mix of beer and ginger ale or lemonade most likely stemmed from necessity. The story goes that a Bavarian tavern owner was running low on beer, and had overstock of lemonade, and I think you can figure out the rest. This refreshing mix, ever popular in Europe has gained mild popularity in the States in recent years. This month I put a tejano twist on this tradition with two drinks perfect for sipping out on the patio. Recipes for both drinks in the video below are available for free at Visit Fort Worth.
