Hard Summer Shandy

The Hard Summer Shandy is a refreshing twist on the classic beer cocktail that adds vodka for extra kick while keeping that crisp, light summer vibe.

This unique combination of vodka, lemonade, and light beer creates a crushable drink that's perfect for hot weather tailgates when beer alone isn't enough but heavy cocktails are too much. It's the best of both worlds - the refreshing lightness of a shandy with the satisfying strength of a cocktail. Ready in just 2 minutes, this is your new summer stadium favorite.

Perfect for serving from your Cocktail Gator portable bar at summer tailgates, baseball games, or beach parties. The organized bottle storage keeps your vodka and lemonade perfectly chilled, while the clean ice from your Gator's dedicated ice bin ensures every Hard Summer Shandy stays crisp and refreshing - never watered down by contaminated cooler ice.
