I’ve always loved cooking with spirits. Indeed, a dash of Cognac, Bourbon, Tequila or fruit liqueur – just to name a few – can transform a dish, delivering heaps of flavor and depth in every spoonful. But now and then I love to indulge in a good cocktail too… and the Sidecar has always been a favorite. In this version, I substitute a smoky Bourbon for the Cognac, giving the classic cocktail a taste of the New World. Plus, it gets a flavor boost with aromatic bitters.

Now all that’s missing is to light a fire and sip slowly… Cheers!
