Shandies are perfect for football parties: they’re refreshing, easy to sip, and crowd-friendly. Traditionally, a shandy mixes beer with a lighter beverage like cider or lemonade to lower alcohol and boost drinkability. This version gives a little more backbone and makes it a cross between a rum boilermaker and a classic shandy.

For a New England spin, this version pairs crisp apple cider with beer and flavors that nod to New England’s autumnal and spirited tailgate culture. Think crisp apple notes with cranberry tartness and a satisfying lager finish — perfect for a kickoff.

For a lower ABV version to help keep the party long lasting then skip the rum and make a basic cider shandy which is as simple as mixing chilled cider with a light beer in a pitcher

For Seahawks Fans: 12th Man Coffeehouse Punch – (Serves ~8-10)
