Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 ml German lager beer
- 500 ml Lemonade (preferably sparkling)
- 2 slices Lemon slices
- 6 cubes Ice cubes
- 2 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Chill your German lager beer and sparkling lemonade in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before preparing the Radler.
2. In a large beer mug or stein (traditionally 1-liter in Germany), add 3 ice cubes per mug to keep the drink cool without watering it down too much.
3. Pour 250 ml of chilled German lager beer into each mug, letting it settle and ensuring a good beer head forms.
4. Slowly pour 250 ml of chilled sparkling lemonade into each mug over the back of a spoon to help retain the carbonation and prevent the beer from foaming excessively.
5. Gently stir with a long-handled spoon to combine, being careful not to lose too much carbonation.
6. Garnish each Radler with a slice of lemon and a sprig of fresh mint, if desired.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy this light, citrusy German classic!
