Shandy is beer or cider mixed with a lemon flavoured beverage, usually half lemonade (a carbonated lemon-flavoured soft drink) and half beer or cider, resulting in a lower ABV for the finished drink. Shandies are popular in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, the Caribbean, and Canada.
In some jurisdictions, the low alcohol content of shandies exempts them from laws governing the sale of alcoholic beverages.
