Grilling the lemons brings out their aroma and natural sweetness. It also adds a roasty complexity to a super refreshing cocktail.
Ingredients
- 6 lemons, halved plus 1 lemon, sliced into 6 rounds
- 1/2 cup simple syrup (see Note)
- 1 3/4 cups ice water
- Six 12-ounce pilsners
Instructions
- Light a grill and set it up for direct heat or preheat a grill pan. Oil the grates and grill the halved lemons cut side down over high heat until nicely browned, 4 to 5 minutes. 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 1/2 cup of lemonade. Garnish with a grilled lemon slice and serve.
