Substituting Apple Brandy for Cognac, and Limoncello for orange liqueur gives a Door County twist to the classic Sidecar cocktail.
Featured Spirit: Apple Brandy & Limoncello
Sweet, sour, and just slightly bitter, this is a perfect cocktail to showcase two of our European-inspired spirits. Distilled from 100% Door County apples (not apple flavored!), Hatch Apple Brandy is light and crisp when compared to its grape-based counterparts. After distillation, Hatch Apple Brandy undergoes a solera aging process, giving it a unique and complex flavor in cocktails.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ oz Apple Brandy
- ½ oz Limoncello
- ¾ oz Simple syrup
- ½ oz Lemon Juice
- 2 Dashes Orange Bitters
Instructions
Prepare your coupe glass with a sugar-coated rim, and set off to the side. In a shaking tin, combine all ingredients and then top up with ice. Shake vigorously for 20 - 30 seconds, and then double strain into a coupe glass. Garnish with a twist of lemon.
