Sidecar Cocktail

A few years ago I made an extravagant dinner for my husband’s birthday. Along with that dinner, I served a cocktail that we immediately fell in love with: the Sidecar.

Warning: potent cocktail. May cause giddiness.

Sidecar Cocktail Recipe

• 1 cup good brandy
• 1/2 cup Triple Sec
• 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
• Lemon zest or Maraschino cherries

In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add brandy, Triple Sec and lemon juice. Shake well to chill and strain into cocktail glass. Garnish with lemon zest or cherries and serve.

Cheers!
