Cider Sidecar

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.
