Sidecar Recipe

Erica Sagon

BrandySidecar3.jpg

A Sidecar is one of our favorite classic cocktails, especially because this recipe teams up brandy and orange liqueur (aka triple sec), and we happen to make both spirits, hurray! Creekbend Brandy is our collab with Oliver Winery in Bloomington and is made entirely of their locally grown Catawba grapes. 

SIDECAR

1.5 oz Cardinal Spirits Creekbend Brandy
1 oz Cardinal Spirits Valencia Triple Sec
.75 oz lemon juice
Strip of orange peel, for garnish

  1. Add brandy, triple sec, and lemon juice to a shaker filled with ice.

  2. Shake well, then strain into a coupe glass.

  3. Garnish with a strip of orange peel.
