Sidecar
×
Sidecar - The first recipes for the Sidecar appear in 1922, in Harry MacElhone's Harry's ABC of Mixing Cocktails. It is one of six basic drinks listed in David A. Embury's The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks (1948). Ironically this recipe has a ton of variations, this is just one of them.
How To Make The Sidecar
Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker with ice and shake for 15 seconds. Strain over ice into an old fashioned or into a chilled (no ice) nick & nora glass and garnish.
The recipe balance can be done in many ways and has been over the years. You can also try a 2:1:1 balance or even a 3:2:2 ratio of strong to sweet/sour.

Tasting Notes
A driving lemon and brandy/cognac forward flavor, with a mild sweet and a citrus sour. Not as much brandy as some recipe ratios propose.
