Continuing the ongoing expansion of its line of sodas and nonalcoholic beverages, Sprecher Brewery has launched a new series of craft lemonades.
Last October, the Glendale-based brewery and soda maker added a number of Chicago sodas to its lineup.
The new lemonades are made with natural ingredients, including real fruit juice, in what Sprecher calls, "a small-batch approach to quality," and they come in lemon, strawberry, raspberry and blueberry.
Sprecher says the sodas include no artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners.
Each flavor is available still or sparkling.
Drink them as they are or use them as cocktail mixers.
Recipes can be found here.
Sprecher lemonades also make great mixers with craft beer and spirits to create shandies and cocktails. For recipes, see our blog at
The lemonades are available online, at Sprecher Brewery, 701 W. Glendale Ave., and at Menard’s stores.
