DIFFICULTY:

Beer cocktails are perfect for those summer afternoons after all the yardwork is done and you’re ready to relax. This cooling drink is a delightful cross between the English Shandy and Lynchburg Lemonade. Big O and bourbon are perfect partners. Add the tartness of lemon and the frothy earthiness of beer — and just a touch of orange bitters — and get ready to be cooled, refreshed, and settled in for a well-deserved rest.
