Cocktail Colin says:
Turbo Shandy turbocharges the traditional shandy with a vigorous splash of vodka, complementing the light, citrusy base of lemonade and lager. This drink is a refreshing yet potent choice, ideal for those who enjoy a zestier, more spirited version of the classic shandy.

FAQ's
Can I substitute a different type of beer for the lager in a Turbo Shandy?
Yes, you can substitute a different type of beer for the lager in a Turbo Shandy. While lager is traditionally used for its crisp and refreshing taste, experimenting with ales or pilsners could add a unique twist to the flavor profile. Keep in mind that the overall taste will change depending on the beer you choose.
What is the best way to serve a Turbo Shandy?

How does the alcohol content in a Turbo Shandy compare to a standard beer?
A Turbo Shandy has an alcohol content of about 6.19%, which is slightly higher than the average standard beer, typically ranging from 4% to 6%. The addition of vodka to the shandy increases its alcohol content, making it stronger than most traditional beers.

What food pairings work well with a Turbo Shandy?

I used a sugar-free lemon soda from my country (like sprite or 7up but just with the lemon part) instead of homemade lemonade, and hoooly this is good.
