The Sidecar may be one of the oldest and most varied cocktails in the world.  The origins of the sidecar are murky, but it is considered to be one of the classic mixed drinks from the early part of the 20th century. It can have  brandy or cognac, orange liqueur, and some kind of citrus juice.

Well, at one of our favorite haunts, Michael Timothy’s in Nashua, NH, they just put a Classic Side Car in their new drink menu.  Last week, I tried one out.  It was listed to have the ingredients:

• Remy Martin VSOP
• Grand Marnier
• Sour Mix

Served over ice it makes a strong but flavorful cocktail.
