FAQ's
How do I properly combine the ingredients for The Real Turbo Shandy?
To properly combine the ingredients for The Real Turbo Shandy, start by pouring the vodka into a pint glass. Next, carefully add the Smirnoff Ice to the glass, followed by the lager. The key is to pour slowly to prevent too much fizz and ensure a smooth mixture. As the drink is not shaken or stirred, allowing the ingredients to naturally blend is important.
What is the best way to serve The Real Turbo Shandy to enhance its flavor?
The Real Turbo Shandy is best served cold to enhance its flavor. Using a chilled pint glass can further elevate the experience by keeping the drink cooler for longer. Serve immediately after preparation to enjoy the carbonation and refreshing qualities of the Smirnoff Ice and lager combination.
Can I substitute a different beer for the lager in The Real Turbo Shandy?

While the original recipe calls for lager, feel free to experiment with ales or pilsners depending on your taste preference. The key is to choose a beer that complements the light and refreshing qualities of the Smirnoff Ice.
How does the alcohol content of The Real Turbo Shandy compare to a standard beer?
The Real Turbo Shandy has an alcohol content of 6.57%, which is slightly higher than the average alcohol content of a standard beer, typically around 4-6%. The addition of vodka and the combination of Smirnoff Ice and lager contribute to the increased alcohol level, making it a stronger option than most traditional beers.
What occasions are most suitable for serving The Real Turbo Shandy?
The Real Turbo Shandy is most suitable for casual gatherings, summer barbecues, and outdoor parties. Its refreshing and relatively high alcohol content makes it a popular choice for social events where guests appreciate a cold, invigorating drink.
