Sidecar Cocktail (Difford's spec.)

How to make:

SHAKE all ingredients with ice and fine strain into chilled glass.

Garnish:

Orange zest twist (a lemon zest twist is more classic). Some also like a sugared rim but my version of the classic is balanced so rendering this embellishment superfluous.

Comment:

Complex and just on the tart side of balanced so still very much a sour. Those with a sweet tooth may prefer with a sugar rim.

Variant:

Apple Cart
