Brighten up your beer – make some Blood Orange English Ale Shandies!

Add some citrusy tang with blood orange juice & zest to your ale & you have a cocktail worthy of any occasion.

Whether you’re tailgating, it’s New Year’s, a birthday, St. Patrick’s Day, Father’s Day or a summer BBQ, this combination is sure to please everyone of age!

Even the ladies will love this pairing of flavors, making it a great alternative for a celebratory Mother’s Day.

Blood Orange English Ale Shandies:

In this recipe, I’m using Great Lakes Brewery Pompous Ass English Ale – their version of a traditional British pale ale. It’s got a wonderful complexity of flavor – hoppy & slightly bitter, but smooth with a citrus or floral undertone, making it especially delightful.

Sensations Blood Orange Italian Soda is what I’m using in this shandy, lending to that extra fizz & citrusy, blood orange flavor layered into this cocktail.

Ingredients:

zest of 1 blood orange
juice of 1/2 blood orange
blood orange soda – I used Sensations Blood Orange Italian Soda.
1 can English ale – I used Great Lakes Brewery Pompous Ass English Ale.

Instructions:

Add blood orange zest to each glass.
Squeeze juice from about 1/4 of a blood orange into each glass.
Fill chilled glasses up to half full with blood orange soda.
Top glasses up with English ale.
Garnish rims with a medallion or wedge of blood orange.

These shandies are so easy to make, and with only a few ingredients you can go from beer to beautiful.

The color from the citrus is striking, and it sweetens up the ale. I adore the zest & pulp from the fresh blood oranges in the beer too!

There isn’t a thing I don’t love about these Blood Orange English Ale Shandies!
