Sidecar

I found this recipe on liquor.com.

Cognac, Cointreau, lemon juice, sugared rim, orange twist⁣

I’ve added both Cognac and Cointreau to my bar! (💰 It was an expensive curbside pickup at Spec’s.) That gives me about a million options for new drinks to try.⁣

The Sidecar is another one of those old drinks with two guys taking credit for it – in this case, one guy in London and another in Paris. But no one argues with the fact that it is a riff on a Brandy Crusta, a cocktail with its roots in New Orleans, originally mixed in the 1850s.⁣

And no one argues that it is indeed named after a sidecar on a motorcycle.⁣ 🏍

This drink has been suggested to me more than any other, and I see why! I’m learning my tastes with this project, and if I’m going to have a sweet/sour drink, I want it like this one. Unlike a Lemon Drop or a Cosmopolitan, you can taste the nice booze. I’m thinking that some drinks are designed for people who don’t like the taste of alcohol, but want a drink…and others are designed for people who DO like the taste of alcohol (and want a drink). I seem to be falling into the second group. ⁣
