Sideways in Reverse | Cocktail Party

Sideways in Reverse

This drink is one of many gems from Philadelphia’s Franklin Mortgage & Investment Co (a bar, not a bank). It’s rare that a “perfect” drink (equal parts of every ingredient) makes for a better result than a more carefully-designed ratio would, but the Sideways in Reverse is the exception to the rule.

If you’re the type of bitter-avoidant person who would typically use Aperol instead of Campari in a drink that calls for a bitter citrus apéritif, we feel you – but in this case we really do recommend Campari, as the original recipe specifies.

The recipe also calls for Laird’s 100-proof Bottled-In-Bond Straight Apple Brandy. That particular blend can be difficult to find outside of the northeast US, so feel free to use any apple brandy you like, so long as it has a strong apple flavor.

This app ROCKS!!!

I've used a number of mix drink apps, and this one is by FAR the BEST! I've made a couple dozen drinks so far, and they're delicious. It suits my quality wants while (more importantly) suiting my inherent laziness. You put in what you have on hand, and it automatically lists all the drinks you can make! There's info on all the ingredients, which is pretty neat to learn some backstory. What I truly like is I can click an ingredient and it shows how many more drinks I can make. It's pretty fun picking up a new item and seeing 8 new drinks to try. There's a setting on the iPad that locks the app on so people can switch on the mixing app without letting anyone out of it, so I leave it by the bar and people can use it without worry of people snooping around. ;) The combination of all the drinks and this app that makes searching for, and making a drink, easy peezy lemon squeezey, and gives a real feeling of sophistication.
