What does SHANDY mean in Scrabble?
noun
British
A drink made by mixing beer with lemonade or ginger beer.
A shandy is lighter and less strong than beer on its own, which is why it is a favourite on hot days and for drivers. The usual ratio is up to the drinker, and some pubs serve it half and half. Where the word came from is uncertain. In British pubs one orders a shandy, while in some other countries a similar mixed drink goes by a different name.
