Background & History

"A Whiskey Sour meets a Sidecar. Though a simple Sidecar made with whiskey would be a balanced and tasty drink, we substitute maple syrup for half of the Cointreau to add not only sweetness but also rich flavor, and opt for the herbal aroma of a sage leaf garnish. The result is a refreshing cocktail that's perfect for fall and winter."
