The Lime Long Weekend

Despite the name, this is a simple NA lager-and-lemonade pour, with no fresh lime in the ingredient list. Lemonade adds sweetness and citrus to the beer’s light malt flavor. Pour slowly because the combination can foam, and choose a lager you enjoy on its own. A sharper lemonade leaves more beer character; a sweeter one makes an easier, fruitier drink. There’s no need to complicate a two-ingredient glass that already suits the moment.

Ingredients

• 6 oz NA lager
• 2 oz Lemonade

Make it

1. Add any fruit, herbs, spices, or syrup to a glass and gently press to release flavor.
2. Add the still liquids and ice. Stir to combine.
3. Pour in the sparkling ingredient slowly and stir once. Serve immediately.

Benefits

NA lager and lemonade · keep the flavor ritual

The NA lager and lemonade combination gives you a light malt flavor in a mixed drink built around its own flavors, keeping the familiar act of mixing and pouring while changing what goes into the glass.

Lemonade · a flavor worth noticing

Using lemonade beside NA lager gives the glass a sweet-tart lemon flavor, creating its own flavor without needing carbonation or an alcoholic pour.

Check every NA product’s ABV. Choose clearly labeled 0.0% ingredients if you want to avoid trace alcohol.
