the sidecar
It’s a classic for a reason.
With the fall in full swing (and the winter quickly approaching), it’s time to break out the aged spirit bangers — and the Sidecar is certainly one of them.
Cognac doesn’t get nearly enough love these days (or brandy in general for that matter), so I plan on bringing some recipes in the next couple weeks to help highlight this category some more as it warms the soul.
