How to make a Radler

To make a Radler, build over ice in a highball glass: 12 oz beer and 12 oz 7-up.

You'll need

1 drink

Instructions

  1. 1

    Fill a highball glass with ice cubes.

  2. 2

    Pour in beer.

  3. 3

    Top with 7-Up.

  4. 4

    Give it one gentle stir.

Why build it in the glass? Nothing here needs shaking, and pouring straight in keeps the 7-Up fizzy.
