And Lynne, yes I started to calculate the cost of the Sidecar and I think it was about $5 for just the raw materials (my labor not included). I was outraged! Then I realized that a $30 bottle of wine probably has 6 glasses in it–or $5 each. So not too out of line…And there’s no shaking involved in serving wine!

Try the cucumber tumbler–they’re refreshing…and cheaper.

I threw a party once where we made Sidecars using Courvoisier, Cointreau, and fresh lemon juice, and while they were outstanding, it really broke the budget!

I’ve yet to find a bar that makes a quality sidecar, although I don’t hang out at places that have froo-froo drinks menus. Maybe I should …

Also glad to hear that the Sidecar has been re-discovered… I have been enjoying them since I found the recipe for the perfect version in the original Princess Diaries book.
