The classical Parisian cocktail that originated around the early 1900s. Named after a favored patron, a Frenchman whose particular choice of transportation to and from the bar was a chauffeur-driven motorcycle sidecar.
Looking at its smoky-pink hue to the tart and floral flavor, this mixture is just in time for Valentine's Day.
The Sidecar: Lemon wedge, superfine sugar, Cognac, Cointreau (or triple sec) lemon juice and a lemon twist. Having a perfect balance of strong, sweet, and sour elements, it could have been the inspiration behind the Margarita and the Daiquiri.
Midnight in Paris, now, a "Signature" drink from cocktail queen Brittany McPeak. In trading out the usual triple sec for rose´ simple syrup, "a change that brings out the aromatics in both the cognac and the wine."
Not much complication here, it leaves lots of time to snuggle up with your main squeeze.
