June 18, 2011 (Day 82) — Chantels
For those unfortunate enough to not know about the Chantels, they were a Motown group from the 1950s who produced some great hits and still manage to make me wistful.
Tonight’s drink is called Chantels because it’s a take off of the classic Shandy, which is beer and ginger ale.
Chantels
- 5 oz Smithwick’s Ale
- 5 oz ginger ale
- 1 oz Cynar artichoke bitters
Combine the ingredients in a pint glass filled with ice and serve up.
Light with a bit of sweet from the ginger ale, but that Cynar gives it a great bitter follow up and that leaves your palate feeling clean and ready for another drink.
Cheers!
