Scotman Sidecar
Did you hear? Its #WorldCocktailDay!
.
I had an opportunity to receive a bottle of a unique California Brandy by @jeffreymbell (@pdthongkong)and @thomaspastuszak(@thenomadhotel) - two very well known names in the cocktail/wine/spirits industry. Bertoux Brandy (@bertouxbrandy) is meant to be as sippable as it is perfect for any cocktail - So I figured, why not try a riff on a classic Brandy cocktail - The Sidecar!
ingredients:
1½ oz Brandy
¾ ozOrange Liqueur
½ oz Fresh Lemon Juice
¼ oz Demerara Simple
4 drops Spruce/Birch
Twist of Lemon
¼ oz 10 year (or any Islay Scotch)
instructions:
Combine ingredients except lemon twist and Scotch in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake, double strain, pour into a chilled coupe. Spray the top with a healthy dose of a peaty scotch (I used Laphroig 10) using an atomizer - alternatively, feel free to rinse the glass instead. Finish by expressing a lemon twist. Serve and enjoy.
