Ingredients:
3 lemons
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1/2 cup chilled grapefruit juice
1 can light beer
Lemon slices, for garnish
Maraschino cherries, for garnish
Steps:
Using a vegetable peeler, remove the zest from lemons, leaving behind the white pith, and set aside (reserve the peeled lemons).
In a saucepan over high heat, combine the sugar and water and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Add the lemon zest and remove from the heat. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes. Remove and discard the lemon zest from the mixture and let it cool to room temperature.
Juice the peeled lemons. Add the lemon juice and grapefruit juice to the sugar mixture.
Pour into a large serving pitcher and chill for at least 2 hours. Just before serving, stir in the beer. Serve in glass mugs, garnished with the lemon slices and cherries.
