Looking to shake up your backyard BBQ this 4th of July? For those who love Summer Ale, we’ve created a crisp, citrusy and refreshing Summer Ale cocktail called the Summer Ale Spritz.

Ingredients

1 bottle Sam Adams Summer Ale

1 oz Rosemary Syrup*

1 oz Lemon Juice

0.75 oz Aperol

Rosemary Sprig

Add Sam Adams Summer Ale, rosemary syrup, lemon juice and ice in a blender. Blend ingredients. Pour in a tall beer glass and top with an Aperol float. Garnish with a rosemary sprig.

*Rosemary Syrup: In a saucepan, put 250 ml sugar and 250 ml of water. Add a handful of rosemary and cook on high for 7 minutes, while stirring the sugar to dissolve. After 7 minutes, let it cool for another 7 minutes and then strain.
