Lemon Ginger Naariyal Paani Shandy: beer, vodka and a coconut twist
↓ Jump to recipeQuick answer
This shandy combines 30 ml Swa Lemon Ginger Naariyal Paani syrup, 330 ml light beer, 20 ml vodka and a little mint. Shake with ice, pour into a chilled glass and top with soda. It turns a standard can of beer into a menu-worthy serve.
Why add syrup to a beer drink?
Syrup adds lemon and ginger brightness and a soft coconut finish, which lifts a plain light beer without making it heavy. The small vodka measure gives it a little more backbone.
How can venues use this shandy?
It is a good option for guests who want something lighter than a full cocktail but more interesting than a beer. Treat the recipe as a guide and try your own flavours from the range. More ideas are in our bar programmes.
Frequently asked questions
What type of beer should I use?
Use a light beer, as the recipe specifies. A heavier or hoppier beer will overpower the lemon ginger and coconut notes.
Is the vodka necessary?
It is optional in spirit but part of the written recipe. Without it you have a lighter beer and syrup shandy.
Can I use other Swa flavours?
Yes. The recipe is meant as a general guide, so you can swap in other citrus or tea-based Swa syrups and adjust to taste.
