GRILLED LEMON SHANDY

Meanwhile, grill the lemon slices, turning once, until nicely charred on both sides, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let cool slightly. Squeeze the juice from the halved lemons into a liquid measuring cup until you have about 3/4 cup.
• In a pitcher, combine the grilled lemon juice with the simple syrup and the ice water. Stir until the lemonade is well chilled.
• Pour the beers into six large glasses and top each with about ½ cup of lemonade. Garnish with a grilled lemon slice and serve.
