Midweek Happy Hour: Meyer Lemon Sidecar
by Sous-Chef on the Run on May 21, 2008
Second to a perfectly smooth frozen margarita, my favorite drink to order is the sidecar. Rarely do I make these at home, but I recently tried this tasty treat from GreatGrub and thought I'd share. The reader feedback on GreatGrub's recipe is right on--the meyer lemon offers a very nice touch. Thanks Mr. WIlson!
Ingredients:
2 ounce Brandy or Cognac
1 ounce Cointreau
1 ounce Meyer lemon juice
Fine sugar
Directions:
1. Pour all of the ingredients into a chilled shaker with a handful of ice.
2. Shake for no more than 30 seconds, then strain into martini glass rimmed with fine sugar.
