Orange Suds

Dress up a cold one with the balanced notes of sweet orange and bitter balsamic.

Ingredients:

Pumpkin Ale

Grand Marnier

Orange juice

Balsamic Vinegar

Orange

Measure ½ cup fresh squeezed and strained orange juice. Place juice and 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar into small sauce pan. Reduce on medium high heat for 4-5 minutes (this will remove water and leave a thick syrup).  Add 1 tablespoon of reduction and 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier into a pint glass, stir well. Fill glass with ½ cup chilled Pumpkin Ale and finish with an orange wedge garnish.
