sidecar

· · 🌡️ 73°F

Geezer drinks are the new hipster drinks. Had a brandy alexander at Shadow Lounge last night that rocked my socks off. Here's another goodie you'd be able to make if only you hadn't poured out that Christian Brothers your great-uncle gave you for Christmas eight years ago.

Sidecar
1.5oz brandy
0.5oz cointreau
some sour mix and a lemon wedge

Serve neat and cold in a chilled stem glass. V. tasty, v. dangerous.

    Whoa! That's major league retro. Like, visiting my grandparents in their fifth floor walk-up in the Bronx vintage. I don't think I've ever tried a Brandy Alexander or Sidecar myself, but I did develop a taste for Manhattans early on. Possibly because if I played my cards right, I would get the maraschino cherry. And it was damn good.

    The cocktail revolution is afoot. Cosmoes and Long Island iced teas are the province of vapid bimboes. Show some class: drink Singapore slings, gimlets, gin rickeys, and old-fashioneds.

    I found out the hard way that @dragonlady7 's dad makes Manhattans inside-out: all vermouth, splash of whiskey. You can NOT spring that on somebody like that.

    Hmm, this comment from last night somehow ended up on the wrong post. So I'm transplanting it:
    "twisted I love you. I was just going to comment about how I like manhattans. But you beat me to it. ;) How 'bout old-fashioneds?"
