Ingredients:
3 Lemons
1 cup Sugar
1 cup Water
1 can light Beer
Lemon slices, for garnish
½ cup chilled Grapefruit juice
Maraschino cherry, for garnish
Method:
Using a vegetable peeler, remove the zest from lemons, leaving behind the white pith, and set aside (reserve the peeled lemons).
In a saucepan over high heat, combine the sugar and water and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
Add the lemon zest and remove from the heat. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes. Remove and discard the lemon zest from the mixture and let it cool.
Juice the peeled lemons. Add the lemon juice and grapefruit juice to the sugar mixture.
Pour into a large serving pitcher and chill for at least 2 hours.
Just before serving, stir in the beer.
Garnish with the lemon slices and cherries and serve over ice
Tip: Always use smaller sized ice cubes when making a cocktail. This creates a smoother taste by allowing a proper mix of water and alcohol, since they melt faster when the alcohol is poured over them.
