Thirst Quenchers
Shandies are mild punches based on beer. The original shandy was beer cut with ginger ale, but these days lemonade versions seem to be more popular. The name “shandy” is short for shandygaff, a word of unknown but vaguely nautical-sounding origin.
A nonalcoholic equivalent of the shandy, made with lemonade and tea (keeping the layers separate, if possible), is named for the famous golfer Arnold Palmer. The A.P is, if you’ll pardon the expression, a tee-totaler’s (or even a tea-totaler’s) shandy.
