Ingredients:
- 3 Lemons
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 cup Water
- 1 can light Beer
- Lemon slices, for garnish
- ½ cup chilled Grapefruit juice
- Maraschino cherry, for garnish
Method:
- Using a vegetable peeler, remove the zest from lemons, leaving behind the white pith, and set aside (reserve the peeled lemons).
- In a saucepan over high heat, combine the sugar and water and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
- Add the lemon zest and remove from the heat. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes. Remove and discard the lemon zest from the mixture and let it cool.
- Juice the peeled lemons. Add the lemon juice and grapefruit juice to the sugar mixture.
- Pour into a large serving pitcher and chill for at least 2 hours.
- Just before serving, stir in the beer.
- Garnish with the lemon slices and cherries and serve over ice
Tip: Eat something before and during alcohol consumption. This slows the absorption of alcohol. Fats and carbohydrates are best for slowing absorption. Sugars intake prevents hang-overs. Cakes and pastries are the party food that has lots of all three.
