Radler Mass, also known as a German Beer Cooler, is a refreshing summer beverage that originated in Germany. The drink was born out of necessity when a barkeeper in Munich, Germany ran out of beer and mixed it with a lemon-lime soda instead. The result was a surprisingly refreshing and thirst-quenching drink that quickly became popular throughout Germany and beyond. The word 'Radler' in German means 'cyclist' and it is said that the drink was originally created for cyclists who wanted a low-alcohol drink that would refresh them after a long bike ride. Today, Radler Mass remains a popular choice for outdoor gatherings and parties in Germany, and is gaining popularity around the world.

Instructions

1.	Fill a large glass or beer mug with ice.
2.	Pour in one cup of your preferred beer.
3.	Top off with one cup of carbonated lemon-lime beverage.
4.	Garnish with a lemon twist if desired and serve immediately.

PROS

CONS

While delicious, Radler Mass is not the healthiest drink option due to the high sugar content in carbonated beverages, so it should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

While Radler Mass may not be the most nutritious drink, consuming beer in moderation has been linked to various health benefits such as reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke. Plus, adding lemon-lime soda to beer can help to make it a more hydrating choice during hot weather.
