1. Chill a large glass or beer mug in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes, or ensure it is cold to enhance the refreshing nature of this cocktail.
2. Remove the chilled glass and carefully add 4 ice cubes to keep the drink cool without heavily diluting it.
3. Pour 12 oz (approximately 1 standard bottle or can) of light beer into the glass. Tilt the glass slightly while pouring to reduce foam and ensure a smoother pour.
4. Slowly pour in 6 oz of lemonade, allowing it to mix naturally with the beer. You may adjust the lemonade quantity to taste for a sweeter or lighter flavor.
5. Stir gently with a long spoon if necessary to combine the liquids evenly, taking care not to disturb the carbonation.
6. Garnish with a fresh lemon slice on the rim of the glass or float it on top of the drink for a decorative touch.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy your crisp and zesty Lemon Beer Clara (Shandy)!
