Photo and drink styling by Emma Fishman

Easy. Relaxing. Refreshing. Sunny. Filled with fruit and flavor. Yes, that describes your ideal summer, but also the shandy, the season’s most accessible cocktail. Keep a premixed batch of fresh juice and seasoning in your fridge to pour into a glass of light beer and ice whenever the sunny vibe needs to be turned up to 11.

6-8 servings

6 oz. Campari
2 cup strained fresh orange juice
½ cup fresh lime juice
2 tsp. Aleppo-style pepper
1 tsp. kosher salt
4–6 12-oz. bottles chilled light beer
  1. Step 1

    Vigorously stir Campari, orange juice, lime juice, Aleppo-style pepper, and salt in a large pitcher. Chill until ready to serve.

    Step 2

    To make 1 drink, pour about 8 oz. beer into an ice-filled glasses and add Campari mixture to your liking.

    Step 3

    Do ahead:Campari mixture can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.
