Siiiiidecars

The perfect Sidecar recipe...  Portioned for two because one should never drink Sidecars alone:

Sidecar:
Lemon Wedge
Superfine Sugar
4 1/2 oz brandy
4 1/2 oz triple sec
1 1/2 oz fresh lemon juice.

Rim a cocktail glass with lemon wedge and spin in plated sugar.  Use a citrus stripper to pull two lemon twists from the wedge before discarding.  Place twists in two glasses and chill in the freezer.

In a cocktail shaker, half filled with crushed ice, combine lemon juice, triple sec, and brandy.  Shake heartily.  Strain into chilled glasses and enjoy.

Have several tonight and by tomorrow you'll be ready to kamikaze outta your job and declare, "I never have to put on those silly shirts for as long as this warlock exists in the terrestrial dimension."
