Steps

1. 1

   Take a tall pilsner glass or pint glass out of the freezer, or fill it with ice water for a minute to chill it down. Dump the ice water out if you used that method. A cold glass keeps the drink fizzy longer.

   ~60s

   

   !Using a warm glass makes the drink go flat almost immediately.

2. 2

   Tilt the glass at an angle and slowly pour in the 240ml of cold lemon soda. Pouring it tilted keeps the carbonation calm so you don't end up with a glass full of foam.

   

   !Pouring straight down into the glass creates too much foam and you won't fit the beer.

3. 3

   Keep the glass tilted and slowly pour in the 240ml of cold lager, letting it slide down the side of the glass just like you would pour a regular beer. The beer and soda will mix together naturally as the glass fills up.

   

   !Pouring the beer too fast makes it foam over the rim.

4. 4

   Set the glass upright and give it one gentle stir with a bar spoon or whatever you have handy just to blend the layers. Drop a lemon wedge onto the rim or right into the drink and serve it before it loses its chill.

   

   !Stirring too hard knocks all the carbonation out and makes it flat.
