Caught in Southie Summer Cocktail Challenge

Local 149’s summer sipper, the “Slanty Shandy”:
“This drink is our take on the  thirst-quenching “Shandy”, traditionally a combination of lemonade and beer.

We start with Absolut Craft Herbaceous Lemon, a vodka infused with lemongrass, lemon myrtle and lemon thyme.

Then we add freshly squeezed lemon juice, honey and a dash of Angostura bitters.

After a quick shake to get it frosty, we strain this into a chilled beer glass and add Ommegang white ale.

It’s super-easy to enjoy on the hot days.”
