Sidecar




Givens: Last night was Friday
              Last night was Date Nite
Statement: Food ≤ Cocktails x Fun = Post ÷ Hangover
Short Post.


Happy hour: Sidecar.  Close relative of Maiden's Prayer & Between the Sheets.

Tasty aperitif.

Partner: "I think I can drink this one.  It's just the right balance of sweet and sour and acidity.  I don't think D. & S. would drink it.  But, oh well...."

Me: "They'll drink what I make 'em!"

A rave for an old classic.

Side Car
2 oz. cognac
3/4 oz. Cointreau
3/4 oz. lemon juice
1/4 oz. simple syrup

Shake with ice.  Serve in a chilled coupe half rimmed with sugar.  No garnish.

    as i read Antiquity Traveler's comment, Kurt's voice is banging in my non-hungover head(despite 2 perfect Manhattans)...that Bostonian accent...once in your head, always in your head ;-)

  3. it does have a certain charm to it (the accent).
