Lambrusco shandy

Just 2 simple ingredients combine for this delicious, refreshing lambrusco shandy.

Ingredients for Lambrusco shandy

The two simple ingredients are

Lambrusco wine

lemonade-homemade recipe follows. You can also use any kind of lemonade or even this homemade lemonade sweetened with liquid stevia I made a few years ago.

This recipe come to you from Riunite Lambrusco. It is not sponsored and I changed up the recipe slightly. Plus I used a homemade lemonade recipe that uses maple syrup instead of sugar to sweeten it. The maple syrup pairs well with the Lambrusco too.

For the lemonade I used-

fresh squeezed lemon juice

water

maple syrup- the pure, real maple syrup, not the fake pancake syrup

Recipe

The recipe couldn’t be simpler. First combine Lambrusco and lemonade in a tall glass with ice. Secondly, stir gently. Last, garnish with a lemon wedge, wheel, or slice.

To make the lemonade, combine 1/4 cup of fresh squeezed lemon juice with 1 cup of water. Stir in 2 teaspoons maple syrup or more to taste.

A couple of years ago, I had fresh squeezed lemonade from a food truck that was the absolute best I ever tasted. It had loads of sugar in it but it was soooo good. I’ve never been able to find another place that has fresh squeezed lemonade that tastes that good. Now, my recipes are tasty but I also don’t want the loads of sugar in it. especially for mixing it with the Lambrusco.
