When I used to play pro squash in France, I would always have a shandy afterwards. It's incredibly cool and refreshing has just a hint of booze. Depending on what country you are in, a shandy is made with a lager and either lemonade, lemon-lime soda or a great French beverage called Limonad. I'm adding the lemon flavor via a lemongrass syrup and a wedge of lemon. The good news is you could enjoy it without ever touching a squash racket.

Directions
Place the lemongrass in a fine strainer and rinse well. In a saucepan with 1 cup water, simmer the lemongrass, ginger, zest and sugar and reduce by three-quarters to a syrup. Chill overnight, then strain the next day.
When you are ready for the cocktail, pour a nice light lager into a glass with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the syrup and juice from 1 wedge of lemon.
Cook’s Note
Make sure to wash the lemongrass well.
