After making the raspberry limeade involved in last week's cocktail, my wife had a bit of left over simple syrup. I have been charged with finding cocktail recipes to make use of it. First up is Joaquin Simó's Sidecar from Robert Simonson's 3-Ingredient Cocktails. Simó's variation combines cognac, dry curaçao, lemon juice and the crucial simple syrup.
It's probable that my resulting drink didn't turn out quite like Simó's as he lists a specific cognac and a specific curaçao. No doubt both are higher quality than I'm willing to shell out for. But mine was still a nice sidecar, if perhaps not noticeably better than my own home recipe.
We still have plenty of syrup left so stay tuned.
