Lager Top

A Lager Top is a pint of lager with a small splash of lemonade on top. A very British pub order that takes the edge off a bitter lager.

Ingredients

• 1 pint (568ml) of chilled lager, minus a splash
• A splash (about 25ml) of chilled lemonade

Method

1. Pour: Pour the lager into a pint glass, leaving just a little room.
2. Top: Add a splash of lemonade on top.
3. Serve: Serve straight away.

Tips for the Perfect Lager Top

• It is just a splash, not a shandy.
• Lime cordial instead of lemonade makes a 'lager and lime'.
• Blackcurrant cordial makes a 'lager and black'.

Good to Know

Some purists frown on it, but the lager top has been a familiar pub order across Britain for decades.

Please drink responsibly. Know your limits, and never drink and drive.
