The sidecar takes a wonderful turn toward autumn, with Calvados, Normandy's apple brandy, standing in for regular brandy. Coating the rims of the glasses with sugar tames the drink's lemony potency. Ingredients:
1 lemon wedge |
granulated sugar for coating rims of glasses |
1 1/2 ounces (3 tablespoons) calvados |
1/2 ounce (1 tablespoon) orange liqueur such as cointreau |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice |
garnish: lemon twists |
Directions:
1. Run lemon wedge around rims of 2 small Martini glasses to moisten. Spread sugar on a small plate and dip rims in sugar to lightly coat.
2. Fill shaker with ice and add Calvados, Cointreau, and lemon juice. Shake vigorously 10 seconds, then strain into glasses.
