Florida Cracker

This light refreshing Belgian-style White Ale is the perfect base for a beer martini. It makes a nice  Florida treat for this cold Iowa day.

Thanks to Roger and Julie DeSloover for bringing me back this souvenir beer from their recent trip to Florida.

I got the idea and recipe for the cocktail from the blog lifefoodandbeer.com
