{Friday Cocktail} Black Cherry Shandy

Whose excited about the Olympics? THIS GIRL.

A Shandy is a beer and juice based beverage. It's light and refreshing, and perfect for relaxing at the end of a long week. I have been enjoying more than my fair share of shandies lately, but mmm... are they good in this HOT weather.
