Caesar Shandy
This savoury mash-up of two cottage classics is the refreshing lower-alcohol drink we need for peak summer relaxation.
Ingredients
- 2 cups clam cocktail
- 1 cup fresh lime juice
- 10 dashes hot sauce or to taste
- 6 dashes Maggi sauce or soy sauce or Worcestershire
- 5 cups well-chilled Sapporo, Corona, or other light beer (see Tip, below)
- Lime wedge and Tajin mix for rimming glasses
- Small watermelon wedges dipped in Tajin spice mix for garnish
Instructions
- Pour clam cocktail, lime juice, hot sauce, and Maggi sauce into pitcher with ice and stir. Slowly pour in beer and stir again. Rim large glasses with Tajin spice mix. Pour the shandy mixture into glasses and garnish with watermelon wedges.
Notes
Tip
For more watermelon flavour, you can muddle 1–2 cups of watermelon and add to the pitcher.
Tip
Why do pitcher cocktail recipes often measure beer, wine, and even spirits in cups? Because bottles and cans come in various sizes, not because there's any need to decant. In this recipe, for 5 cups (1.25 L) of beer, you'll need about 4 standard bottles or cans (330-335 ml) or 2 1/2 tall boy cans. Round up or down as you prefer, and pour directly from the bottle to avoid a flat drink.
