Apres smoke cocktail - the Sidecar
Last night I enjoyed a tasty Mareva. After I was done my wife asked me to pour us a cocktail. I hadn't had anything to drink with the cigar a drink sounded like a good idea. I mixed up a doublebatch of Sidecars for us. It was quite tasty with the lingering flavors of my cigar.
Brandy is a traditional cigar drink and many guys talk about lemonade with their cigars - so it makes sense to me. For reference, here is a Sidecare recipe: 1 1/2 oz cognac (or brandy) 3/4 oz cointreau (or triple sec) 3/4 oz lemon juice (make sure it's fresh) shake the hell out of it with ice, strain into a cocktail glass and garnish With a twist of lemon. You can sub Bourbon. What do you think?
