IDEAL FOR: Beverage

If there’s a new mug in Dad’s future, make it count! Raise a glass to the father figures who make life sweeter with a crisp, refreshing summer shandy infused with a handcrafted, sweet Naturipe blueberry reduction.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup Naturipe Blueberries
  • 2 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp Honey or simple syrup
  • 4 bottles (12 oz each) Crisp wheat beer or light lager
  • Chilled 2 cups Fresh lemonade
  • Chilled Extra Naturipe Blueberries
  • Lemon slices for garnish

DIRECTIONS

  • In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of Naturipe Blueberries, lemon juice, and honey over medium heat. Cook for 5-7 minutes, gently mashing the blueberries with a fork as they warm to release their juices.
  • Once the mixture becomes syrupy, remove it from the heat and let it cool completely. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve if you prefer a seedless syrup.
  • To build the drinks, spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the cooled blueberry reduction into the bottom of four clear beer mugs.
  • Pour 1/2 cup of chilled lemonade into each mug, stirring gently to incorporate the blueberry syrup.
  • Top each mug off slowly with a chilled wheat beer or lager.
  • Garnish the top with a handful of floating fresh Naturipe Blueberries and a lemon wheel. Raise a glass and serve immediately!

Pro Tips:

  • Tilt your beer mug slightly while pouring the lager to keep the foam head at a manageable level and preserve the beautiful, layered ombre look of the fruit syrup at the bottom.
