Had a tasty, Rye Manhattan in the back yard after work yesterday.

AGITATOR Whisky from Sweden, distilled under vacuum conditions is coming on nicely in various flavors...

In Germany "Radler" goes simply by mixing any beer (preferably from tap) with lemonade (typically "Sprite", usually bottled). Ratio varies from 1:2 (2 for beer)  to 1:1, depending on who's mixing it. Little more beer than lemonade would be normal.

Note, "Radler" is the name for the southern half of the country. In the northern half, especially from Hamburg on "Alsterwasser" or "Alster" is the term to order it in any bar or restaurant.

The chemically enriched ready-mixes (canned or bottled) of "Radler/Alster" that are available in supermarkets and becoming increasingly popular around the world are just not it!

Cheers, SFW!

Sounds like a Russ is a shandy; Radlers with grapefruit juice are available here. I prefer to mix them myself to avoid the "beer with natural flavors" nonsense. The canned ones often taste like Lemon Pledge IYKWIM.

Didn't realize until today that Radlers (which I like and which a friend has brought me from Germany) are Shandies (which I also like). Apparently there is another German variation called a "Russ" that I think I must try.

Also same as original but add 2 grams of creatine and 
a big ol splash of OJ to cut the bitterness - tastes even 
better than plain OJ. A great boost if you're working 
out or being active.
