Dickon Sowerby
I was fascinated by this kind-but-rugged character when I was a kid–he knew how to do lots of things and had great clothes! In this Yorkshire-inspired theme, I thought Dickon would be a great inspiration for a shandy! Rhubarb, ginger and lime, fortified with a bit of genever flavor a good English ale beautifully!
INGREDIENTS
1 oz. rhubarb shrub
¾ oz. ginger syrup
½ oz. lime juice
½ oz. genever
4 drops saline
4-5 oz. ale, preferably English-style bitter
Garnish: candied ginger on a pick
ABV LEVEL
Makes (1) 8-oz. serving. Double it for a pint!
Combine all but the ale in a cocktail shaker. Add ice and shake for 15 seconds. Strain into a small highball glass or tankard. Top with ale and garnish with candied ginger on a pick.
