I've been all about the picnic this week and I just can't move on without throwing in a thirst quenching beverage. Have you ever had beer with lemonade? You may also know it as a shandy. Pour some good beer over ice (or just be sure your beer is very cold) and add anywhere from 1/4 to 1/2 of the glass with fresh lemonade.....refreshing. Tie it together in a picnic blanket or put them in a basket and you even have yourself a hostess gift that everyone enjoys......leave the blanket or basket for the hostess of course.

  3. I'm from Wisconsin- the state of beer and have never heard of beer and lemonade. You haven't steered me wrong yet, so I will definitely give it a try.

    Happy 4th my friend! xoxo

  4. pve - it is so refreshing!

    g. and joyce - i'll be anxious to hear what you both think. i know people also add a splash of vodka to it, but it isn't necessary and well.....that can just be too dangerous since the vodka taste is so hidden.

  5. Tomato Juice and beer is good too! It is more of a brunch type drink...my dad calls them Red Eyes. Have a great 4th of July and Anniversary!
