Simon's Sidecar
Unusually for a Sidecar, my recipe leans heavily on orange curaçao and pineau des charentes, each adding layers of flavour to this finely balanced sour

Very much enjoyed this drink but it was missing for me some complexity which I attribute to having only Reynac Pineau des Charentes. I would like to revisit this should I be lucky enough to source a bottle of Ferrand Pineau. At first I considered reducing the simple syrup to account for what I thought might be added sweetness from the Reynac. However, being the first time making this drink, I followed the recipe and didn't find it overly sweet. I'm not sure however it required 2 drops of saline as I think it muted the drink, although maybe that was more a function of a less complex Reynac Pineau than the salt.
