Sidecar

Rosanne

Some say the drink’s name references the mixture that’s left in the shaker after straining and served in a shot glass on the side. This little treat is called, that’s right, a sidecar.The Sidecar is as popular today as it was a century ago, and a brilliant introduction to the allure of well-balanced sour drinks. One of the best cocktails of all time!
