Americano shandy recipes

Bear with me on this one: Campari and sweet vermouth make a happy marriage, most famously with a hefty glug of gin in a negroni, or as an americano when lengthened with soda water. Here, they rub along surprisingly well with a hoppy lager to make a shandy with a certain Italian elan. It’s a little bit country and a little bit rock’n’roll. Serves one.

25ml Campari
25ml Martini Rosso (or other sweet vermouth)
About 150ml pilsner-style lager
1 lemon slice, to garnish

Pour the Campari and vermouth over ice in a tall glass and top with lager. Garnish with a slice of lemon.
