Beer and Orange Juice

Beer will never be the same again. Thank goodness because I have never been a beer drinker.

But I found a new way to drink it, and it is called a Satsuma Shandy.

Making cocktails is quickly becoming my favorite pastime. After recently whipping up a series of cocktail shots, one for each day of the week, I am loving studying mixology!

What is a Shandy drink?

If you have never heard of a shandy cocktail, let me break it down for you. Pick a soda or juice and mix it with a beer.

I also like to mix mine with a liquor too. Ever heard of a beergarita? Beer and margarita? YES PLEASE!!!

But that is all a shandy is. Simple as that!

What is the best beer for a shandy?

What would a beer taste like mixed with orange juice? Let’s try it now as I happen to have a few Blue Moon beers in the party fridge out back.

Bartenders always serve or garnish Blue Moon with an orange, and when you mix in the orange juice, it counts as healthy, right?

Let’s just go with that.

Recently I discovered a Satsuma Orange Rum Liqueur, which is a rum with satsuma orange flavors and is slightly thicker than just plain rum.

My only question is do you want to make one or two? And if you are making two, who are you sharing it with?
