Notes

This post is aimed at a US audience who have been misinformed as to the type of lemonade which is to be used in a traditional British shandy.
The problem was the mis-translation of "lemonade" to mean American lemonade which is made from water, sugar and lemon juice, when in fact it should be soda.
