The sidecar is a classic cocktail
that was invented around the 1920’s in Europe. This was a popular and zingy
drink in the 1940’s. I love the
fresh zesty citrus in this drink and mixes perfect with some spicy sweet nuts too
much on. The perfect cocktail hour combination that will set people to dancing
and having a grand old time. Mmmmm, I do believe I found a FOODGASM in my
cocktail. Enjoy!
