Gin Sidecar

This is the gin version of the brandy drink that's all the rage right now. And it is being served up, as it should be. The Gin Sidecar is more relaxed, shaken but served on the rocks. A good gin and triple sec will really improve your experience with this cocktail since there's no added sugar. Triplum or Cointreau will keep things strong on alcohol and preserve a fresh citrus flavor that the drink should properly give off all around.

2 oz. gin

1 oz. triple sec (Luxardo Triplum used)

1 oz. lemon juice

Happy Monday! Mondays can sometimes be rough- experiencing the loss of the weekend and the start of a long week ahead. Sometimes there just needs to be a celebration of sorts to look forward to… and for me, that means going back to the classics. Actually, if I had to rank my favorite classic cocktails this drink would be up there in the top 3 for sure- a Sidecar. There are many variations on the Sidecar although it’s historically a mix of Cognac, orange liqueur and lemon juice. It’s such a favorite in our house that we’ve had an opportunity to play around with the recipe quite a bit over the years. This version has stuck around as being our favorite. I also might be a little obsessed with the Asbach Uralt Brandy- it’s soooooo good!

Chelsea Sidecar

A drink named after the posh London neighborhood of Chelsea requires a posh London gin. Boodles is the much-asked-for classic dry gin from London. You won't see it in the U.S. that much, and much less now that American gin is all the rage. But there is something to be said of an old standard. And while the Gin Sidecar is slowly giving way to it original brandy forebears, a Boodles Sidecar is still smashing, baby.
