Jack's Bistro in Canton is putting its "
" to use in a drink called a shandy.
It combines
Ozzy Ale, ginger ale and strawberry puree. Served in a tall, 16-ounce sundae-style glass, it costs $7.
"We have such an extensive beer menu that we wanted to do a cocktail with beer," said Christie Smertycha, manager of Jack's. "Shandies are refreshing and very popular in Europe. Even people who aren't necessarily excited to have a beer will have a cocktail with it."
Jack's first put the drink on the menu about a year ago. Served year-round, it is especially popular in hot weather, Smertycha said.
And these days, it is made with strawberries grown in the restaurant's rooftop garden. Despite the recent heat wave, Smertycha said the berry plants are still going strong.
