This week is a refreshing beer/lemonade drink picked up from our friends, Duncan and Mary. It’s a drink enjoyed in Barcelona (where Mary is from). It’s a perfect drink for a summer day…or at least the tease of warm weather like we had last weekend.
The Lemonade
1 cup fresh squeezed lemons (4- 6 lemons)
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
3 -4 cups cold water
Create a simple syrup by heating 1 cup water and sugar in small saucepan until completely dissolved. Squeeze lemons for 1 cup of juice (any leftover lemon slices can be used for garnish). Mix simple syrup, lemon juice and cold water to taste and refrigerate.
La Clara
When ready to serve mix equal parts of the lemonade with a Hefeweisen beer. We experimented with Captain Lawrence Liquid Gold, a Belgian-style pale ale, and it made for a refreshing, delicious beverage.
¡Salud!
Yesss finally something to look forward to on Mondays. This photo is amazing, makes me want to bathe in beer.
