With bars now tauting their craft cocktails, I have been doing much experimenting. But every sidecar I have ordered has been way too sweet, so I have been making them at home. Last night, craving one, I had no lemons left - but many many limes. I used them instead and was mightily surprised how much I liked the result! Have you tried a sidecar with limes? Thanks for all of your posts!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02223222866121540806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4249095902319557066.post-50979926557446417102013-07-07T22:00:34.797-05:002013-07-07T22:00:34.797-05:00Hi Deborah, too many bars and restaurants don'...Hi Deborah, too many bars and restaurants don't have fresh fruit at the bar. And without freshly squeezed lemon juice, this cocktail isn't worth drinking IMO. Otherwise? It's one of my two favorite cocktails! And fortunately it's quite easy to make at home. It's worth the effort, trust me. ;-) Thanks for the comment.Kitchen Riffshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09334461438904669081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4249095902319557066.post-51431264289482583342013-07-07T20:43:13.078-05:002013-07-07T20:43:13.078-05:00I knew the sidecar was an easy drink to make, and ...I knew the sidecar was an easy drink to make, and this just makes me more determined to make it at home - and more annoyed than ever that the last two bar/restaurants I went to couldn't make it for me!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13288573536684332492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4249095902319557066.post-63318510942160816892012-12-13T19:26:44.715-06:002012-12-13T19:26:44.715-06:00Hi Judy, I'm always happy to have you rummage ...Hi Judy, I'm always happy to have you rummage around in the archives!

(Although I wonder if you meant this reply for my post on the Pegu Club Cocktail - for those that don't don't, the Pegu Club was the name of a British Military Club for Officers in Burma.)

The Brits faced this:<br /><br />"A Snider squibbed in the jungle -<br />Somebody laughed and fled,<br />And the men of the First Shikaris<br />Picked up their Subaltern dead,<br />With a big blue mark in his forehead<br />And the back blown out of his head."<br /><br />No wonder they needed a real drink now and again.Robert Newsomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11967765699754175785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4249095902319557066.post-28558581427703639852012-03-08T09:36:19.174-06:002012-03-08T09:36:19.174-06:00Hi Julie, classic cocktails are great, aren't ...Hi Julie, classic cocktails are great, aren't they? Alas, cocktails can be hard to photograph! The unwanted reflections on the glass are what drive me crazy - I use a lot of black foam core to block unwanted light.
