Instructions

  1. Chill Ingredients: Ensure both the light German beer and citrus soda are well chilled to achieve a refreshing final drink.
  2. Mix Beer and Soda: In a tall glass, gently pour equal parts of light German beer and your chosen citrus soda to maintain carbonation and prevent excessive foaming.
