Total time: 5 min
Yield: 3
Ingredients: 12 ounces very cold light beer (such as Bud Light); 12 ounces very cold sparkling blood orange juice Ice cubes; 3 thin slices lemon (for garnish); Fresh mint sprigs (for garnish (optional))

Popular in the UK, where it's also known as a shandygaff, this cocktail is usually made of equal parts beer and carbonated lemonade. This version swaps out the latter for sparkling blood orange juice, which is a touch more exotic, and incredibly refreshing. This is a fantastic simple cocktail to whip up on a hot day.
