Description

It’s cocktail time. And what better cocktail to make than a classic bourbon sidecar.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice plus extra for rim of glass
  • 1 ounce good bourbon ( I like Bulleit)
  • 1 ounce Cointreau
  • Sugar for rim of glass (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your glass by rubbing the rim with a little lemon juice. If desired, place glass rim side down on a plate with sugar and twirl it around until the edge of glass is lightly covered in sugar. Fill a shaker with ice and add the lemon juice, bourbon, and Cointreau. Put the lid on tight, flex your muscles, and shake the heck out of it- this will get you the pretty pieces of ice on the surface of your drink. Fill your glass and sip away.
