Czech Sidecar | Cocktail Party

Czech Sidecar

This Czech Sidecar recipe from Oregon Spirit Distillers is a wonderful sour that takes full advantage of the plummy flavors of a good slivovitz.

The sugar-spice rim isn’t just a garnish; it’s a necessary component that plays up the baked-pie flavors buried under the surface of strong plum brandy. We’ve specified a pinch each of sugar and spices because that’s what ends up on the glass, but in practice you’ll probably need more in order to be able to easily rim the glass.

Ingredients

Instructions

Begin by preparing the glass. Add the sugar and spices to flat dish and mix well. Rub a slice of lemon or lime around the outer lip of a cocktail glass, and roll in the plate of sugar and spices. Shake off any excess.

Meanwhile, shake the remaining ingredients with ice. Strain into the rimmed glass and garnish with a wedge of lemon or lime.

Really Good App

We downloaded the app after seeing it as one of the top posts on /r/cocktails, and we've been playing around with it and adding our ingredients to the list. While it's not an all inclusive list of ingredients (missing some creme de ), it's a solid overall app and tosses out some truly spectacular recipes based on what you have in your liquor cabinet. Minor quibbles for an otherwise fantastic application!
