The Super Bowl Sidecar. I'll Drink To That!
As game as I am to eat those standards chili and wings on Super Bowl Sunday, when it comes to beverages, I'm in the mood for something a little more unexpected. So in addition to a chest of cold beer, we're pulling out our cocktail shaker for a drink we've only recently come to know, the Pear Brandy Sidecar.
We were at our friends Tim and Sara's for dinner just the other night. Sara is a wonderful cook and always whips up, seemingly without effort, delicious fare for parties of six or eight or ten.
There were ten of us at the table that night, for a meal which culminated in cocoa angel food cake drizzled with raspberry sauce and served with a dollop of whipped cream, (more on that at another time), and began with an assortment of crackers and dips and this lovely Pear Brandy Sidecar, made with Clear Creek Pear Brandy, that everyone drank, and then drank some more. What can I say, we finished that bottle!
I asked Sara how to make the Pear Brandy Sidecar, and here's what she told me:
For each drink, pour 1 ounce pear brandy, 1 ounce pear nectar, 1/2 ounce simple syrup, and 1/2 ounce lemon juice (fresh is best, but if you accidentally knock over the glass of fresh squeezed lemon juice, you can certainly use bottled) over ice in a cocktail shaker. Shake, pour, drink. Repeat.
It's good advice for Game Day--or just about any day. Drink responsibly.
