Rock Shandy Recipe
A refreshing South African Rock Shandy made with equal parts lemonade and soda water, finished with Angostura bitters, ice and lemon. Ready in 2 minutes and perfect for hot days, braais and easy entertaining.
Ingredients
- Ice Enough to fill the glass 1/2 - 1/4 of the way
- 125 millilitre (½ cup) fizzy lemonade
- 125 millilitre (½ cup) soda water
- 5-10 dashes Angostura bitters or other bitters of your choice
- 1 slice lemon
Instructions
- Fill a tall glass with ice.
- Pour in equal parts soda water and lemonade.
- Add 5–10 dashes of Angostura bitters, or adjust to taste.
- Stir gently to combine. For a layered ombré effect, stir less after adding the bitters.
- Garnish with a lemon slice, wedge or peel twist and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use equal parts lemonade and soda water, then adjust the bitters to taste.
- For a fully alcohol-free Rock Shandy, use alcohol-free bitters. Traditional Angostura bitters contain alcohol, but only trace amounts remain in the finished drink when using a few dashes.
- Make just before serving so the drink stays fizzy.
