But since the early days of its conception, the Angostura Rock Shandy has always been the go-to drink for company.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BpQXtzfDCZg\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Effortless and appetising, mixing it is easy when you consider that it is a three-ingredient classic that can be made in mere minutes.

In the summer heat, there\u2019s nothing better than an ice-cold drink.<\/p>\n<p><em>Why not up the ante this season by adding something extra to your ice trays?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Our suggestion\u2026 bitters ice cubes. Not only will it keep your drinks cold, but it\u2019ll add a depth of flavour to it. Just grab your favourite big cube or sphere ice moulds, add four or five dashes of Angostura aromatic bitters to each well, fill with water, and freeze as usual.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Garnish up<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The best garnish to use in the Angostura Rock Shandy is citrus like lemon and lime.\u00a0Of course, we\u2019re also all about reducing waste, so why not create your own dried fruit garnish?<\/p>\n<p>They are easy to make, plus you\u2019ll have instant beautiful fruit garnish for your Lazy Rock Shandy. Once added, the lemon and lime slices will rehydrate, and the flavour will be even more intense.<\/p>\n<p>There are fancy dehydrating machines you can buy, but we\u2019ve got a hack that you can do in your own kitchen. Simply turn on your oven to its lowest setting, slice your lemon or lime thinly (not too thin, mind you!) and place on baking paper, and place them in the oven. Check on them every 30min, it should take a few hours.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Exactly how many dashes?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The typical Rock Shandy takes 4 -6 dashes of Angostura aromatic bitters, but many (especially bartenders mixing for themselves) add extra.<\/p>\n<p><em>How many dashes would be used in your Lazy Rock Shandy jug?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>We say, the more the merrier. Mix up your soda and lemonade and throw in a tot of Angostura aromatic bitters. Don\u2019t put away your bottle just yet. We recommend keeping it on hand for those who need \u2018That Extra Dash\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Ingredient hunting<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not a hunt. Ingredients can be found anywhere. THE essential ingredient is the can\u2019t-miss bottle behind the check-out, featuring an over-sized label and distinct yellow cap.
