This recipe takes inspiration from a couple of places...
namely the classic English shandy–a simple mixture of beer & lemonade–and the social media-famous bartender’s favorite known as the Spaghett, which adds a splash of Italian red bitter to, traditionally, a light American-made lager; a beer-based spritz, if you will. Here, Japas’ Yuzu Lager does double-duty as an already shandy-esque beer, and a splash of Mazzura–a less-sweet, low-proof aperitivo similar to Campari–adds a pleasantly botanical bitterness and Mediterranean-sunset hue. The resulting “spritz” is a cultural mishmash with universal appeal, which is exactly our favorite kind of drink.
