✨ThrowQUACK Thursday✨
Every week is a new riff on a classic!
This week’s inspiration: the Sidecar.
Our Take: 🦆
- brown butter armagnac
- luxardo triplum
- fresh squeezed lemon juice
- saline
- expressed orange peel
A blend of cognac, orange liqueur, and lemon, the Sidecar was created during WWI. While there are two main locations claiming to have created the cocktail (the Ritz Hotel in Paris and Buck’s Club in London), the Sidecar was first published in Harry MacElhone’s “Harry’s ABC of Mixing Cocktails.” This is the same gentleman who popularized the cocktail during Prohibition while running Harry’s New York Bar in Paris. Our take swaps the cognac for brown butter armagnac. A similar brandy spirit in a region a stones throw from cognac, armagnac has a more pronounced, raw, and rustic flavor profile. This paired with the smooth brown butter adds a subtle, yet significant shift to the classic Sidecar.
