My interpretation:
4 oz Nashville Brewing Company Helles Lager, chilled
4 oz Gerolsteiner Sparkling Mineral Water, chilled
Pour Gerolsteiner into a chilled highball glass, pour lager on top slowly so that a little head forms but does not overflow glass. Serve. — I have interpreted this recipe, a charter member of the Jack’s Manual, as a small cocktail-size drink for quick refreshment in overwhelming heat. The portions may be increased to fit the appropriate size for a pint or pilsner glass. I take the name to be humorous, since, clearly, no bitters or sweetener is prescribed (unless one takes the Ginger Ale as the sweetener). To be very correct, it is shoulid be called a Cincinnati Cooler, Beer Cooler, or a Soda (or Ginger Ale) Shandy.
