My version of the established Jamie's Italian Gennaro's Sidecar is a tad boozier than the original, but retains the balance between sweet limoncello liqueur...
A very solid sidecar variation. I made mine with Pierre Ferrand 1840. Tart with grape notes from the cognac and a touch of sweetness from the limoncello.
This is quite a nice riff on a Sidecar, with the Limoncello coming through, giving this drink a nice sour & tart kick to a classic Sidecar, making this drink quite pleasant
This is just the ticket! Got two bottles of limoncello that needed using. I used Remy for the cognac part but otherwise stuck to the recipe. Think I just found my go to cocktail!
I went with Armagnac (Domaine Tariquet) instead of Cognac. For me, more subtle. Each to their own, of course; taste is the most mysterious of our five senses.
Replaced the chilled water by 1/4 oz extra cognac (ABK6 VSOP) and used A. de Fussigny orange cognac liqueur, which is fairly orangey as such liqueurs go. No Pallini so used Bellini limoncello liqueur, figuring that was close enough. Lemons from Albertson’s, not Amalfi. Added a couple lemon twists to the shaker and garnished with lemon zest to be sure it was lemony enough. It was. Excellent!
