Season's sippings: Summer 2009

Horseneck Shandy
$7, Eastern Standard
528 Commonwealth Ave., Boston

In the mix:
3 ounces UFO beer
1 ounce lemonade
4 dashes of Peychuaud's bitters
Top with Sprite and garnish with a lemon.

"This drink has a seaside vibe," bar manager Jackson Cannon said. "If you can't get to the beach as often as you want, this drink will remind you of it."

Bottom line: This thirst-quenching beer-tail has a summery color and is a nice twist on the brews we usually drink at backyard barbecues.

Or try: The Maldenado ($10) combines tequila, lime juice, and Negra Modelo. A dash of Tabasco gives it an extra zing.
