The Bourbon Sidecar is bright and classy, a variation on the classic sour cocktail that swaps brandy for bourbon. Citrus forward with a spicy whisky finish!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ounces bourbon whiskey
  • 1 ounce Cointreau
  • 1/2 ounce lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon simple syrup
  • For the garnish: lemon twist or lemon peel

Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with a handful of ice and shake until cold.
  2. Strain the drink into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a lemon twist (or orange twist).

Notes

Variation: Use 1 ounce rum and 1 ounce bourbon to turn it into a whiskey-based spin on the classic Between the Sheets cocktail. (The traditional uses Cognac.)
