Halloween is right around the corner and what cocktail will you be drinking while passing out candy? Fall is cider season and we came across a great recipe that is a variation on the classic Sidecar. It employs the use of fresh apple cider and is a refreshing take on the classic that is perfect to offer the thirsty adults as their treat on Halloween.
Cider Sidecar
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice add:
- 1 ½ Ounces Cognac or quality Brandy
- ½ Ounce Cointreau
- 1 ½ Ounces Fresh Apple Cider
- ½ Ounce Fresh Lemon Juice
Shake and then shake some more till painfully cold. Strain into large low-ball glass filled with fresh ice. Garnish with lemon twist and apple slice.
