The side car is an understated favorite of mine. From the early 1920's it was originally made with brandy, lime juice & cointreau. Variations include cognanc, bourbons, there is even a version with rum & vodka.
Thatchers Blood Orange is amazing stuff and it screams to me side car variation!
I use bourbon instead of brandy but plan to switch back to the brandy once winter returns.
Bourbon blood orange side car
- 1oz makers mark
- 1 fresh pressed lemon
- 1 oz thatchers blood orange
- splash of cointreau
shake & strain into martini glass. You may sugar the rim if you'd like.
You can have alot of fun with this. Switching out the lemon for lime, cointreau for gran marnier...It's like a rubik's cube of drinks.
