Alcohol content tends to be fairly low in a shandy/radler — you can expect around 3.0%. These two drinks are made by mixing a beer (usually a blond lager) in nearly equal proportions with a carbonated citrus drink or lemonade. The radler may be a bit heavier on the beer than the shandy, and though this will have an impact on its alcohol levels, in general, you can expect these two drinks to hover around the 3.0% mark. That makes them great for light occasions like an afternoon refreshment or even a brunch mixed drink.
