A few weeks ago, we had friends over to try out my third classic cocktail of the summer–the sidecar.
Admission: I had never had cognac or brandy before this. Needless to say, brandy will be finding its way into some more cocktails this fall, I promise.
Sidecar
2oz cognac
1/2oz fresh lemon juice
1/2oz Cointreau
Shake with ice in a cocktail shaker and serve in a cocktail glass. Enjoy on a summer afternoon, or (as in our case) use it as payment for a haircut. Thanks, James, for working your magic on Naoto’s unruly hair!
This looks wonderful. Sweet Husband loves these, but we’ve never tried making them at home before.
They are so easy! I’m beginning to find that I can make a better cocktail than most bartenders 😉
I’m going to try the horse feather tonight, so I will report back to you 🙂
