Radler (German Beer Shandy) vs Traditional Shandy

Both drinks pair chilled beer with fizzy lemonade, but they strike the balance differently. The Radler sets a precise measure of crisp Pilsner to sparkling lemonade at roughly three to two, giving a lighter, more lemon-forward glass; an optional gentle stir and lemon slice sharpen its citrus aroma. The Traditional Shandy leans harder on the beer, lager or pale ale at about two or three parts to one, is left unstirred to preserve its effervescence, and invites adjusting the ratio to taste.
