- Slowly pour half of the beer or lager into the glasses with soda, holding them at a 45 degree angle.

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.
