Applecar

🥃 Serve in: Cocktail Glass

The Sidecar's overlooked cousin swaps cognac for apple brandy, keeping the same triple sec and lemon juice structure but trading grape-driven richness for orchard warmth. It's a pre-Prohibition-era American classic that never got the same spotlight as its cognac-based sibling, despite deserving one. Shaken hard and strained up, it's the drink to reach for when you want to show apple brandy can hold its own in a proper sour.
