Spring Cocktail: The Ryeteous Shandy

Some whiskeys sit on the shelf all summer. Not this one.

Ryeteous Blonde was made for motion — crisp air, hot grills, full coolers, and that familiar moment when day turns to night and no one’s quite ready to head home. Finished in beer barrels, it’s a whiskey that brings the easygoing soul of summer to the glass. Backyard legends, boat days, post-mow rituals — this bottle belongs in the action.

And like all the best things in summer, it won’t be around forever. Ryeteous Blonde is a limited-time release, so stock up, pour heavy, and enjoy it while it lasts.

If there’s one cocktail that captures the bold, bright spirit of Ryeteous Blonde, it’s this one. Light, citrusy, and refreshingly laid-back — The Ryeteous Shandy is built to cool you off without slowing you down.

Why It Works

Crisp, refreshing, and just the right amount of citrus kick to cool down even the hottest afternoons. The Blonde Ale topper adds a bright, clean finish that keeps it easy on the palate and perfect for long sessions.
