Does anyone else like the Sidecar?

[crankin]

I love this drink. I make it like this

2 oz. Cognac (I use Remy Martin VSOP)
2 oz. Cointreau
1 Freshly squeezed lemon

Sometimes I add just a tiny touch more Cognac than Cointreau. But otherwise, just like I said, and then shaken and strained into a chilled cocktail glass. It is probably my favorite mixed drink ever.

We drink it all the time....but we do the bourbon version. Just had it last night, as a matter of fact

One of my favorites also, I'll have to try the

bourbon recipe. (that's one of my favorites also)

I like the tequila version. With lime instead of lemon. And salt on the rim.

Vera,

Would Booker's make a good sidecar?

Vera,

Well, not if it's MY Bookers
I wouldn't use Bookers for mixing, though. Something like Evan Williams is good for mixing.

I've never had a sidecar but it sounds goooood!

I thought you called dibs on the Woodruff Reserve?

I think we're staying in tonight, may need to make a quick stop at the store to ensure we have everything for a few of these.

In light of your present attitude, I believe I call dibs on everything in your liquor cabinet. And, anything you purchase for your evening, as well.
