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. Gretchen - Funny about the Sidecar in Princess Diaries–they’re not just for grandmothers any more!

I love anything with cucumber in it! 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. Yummy… I love anything with cucumber in it!
