My husbands favorite cocktail. We make it often. He uses it sometimes as cocktail to order in a bar, if it’s a good one, we order other drinks. If not, waters fine! It’s amazing how often we have water. LOL, I bet a Sidecar from you is wonderful. Cheers Livio.
Sours are definitely not my cup of tea, 30 ml of lemon or lime juice makes any cocktail (3-5 oz, served up) way too tart. Practically the tart juice mutes all the others tastes and flavours for me. So I am only adding 5 to 10 ml of the citrus juice. And I am using European lemons (mostly from Greece), so hearing you talking about the fact they are sweeter than American ones, it was a stunner! Adding a full ounce of their juice and still enjoying the cocktail seems impossible for me, to say the least! Nevertheless, I appreciate the presentation. :)
It’s so true! When I made sours in Italy, I needed so much less lemon or lime, and the fruit was much sweeter, and the drinks are much boozier. Cheers to you!
LIVIO!!! Awesome class!!! This is one of my all time favorites!!! I love this sipper!!! QUESTION: When making this, can one use 2 different types of Cognac? I have a Cognac that's a little too sweet to put in this cocktail by itself, so I was going to split it with another Cognac. Thanks!!!! CHEERS!!!!
Hey Tim. That is such a great idea. By blending two different cognacs you are also creating a unique flavor that does not exist. If one of your cognacs is too sweet then I would try to blend it with something dry and simple such as Hennessy VS. Have a great weekend!

I love these videos. Slowly catching up
Awesome and thank you! Cheers
I’m waiting for you to start that Vespa restoration channel Livio! 😉 Love a good Sidecar!
Lol. Thanks for watching Vino.
Simple, classic and perfect. (both the Vespa and the cocktail!!!)
No history was given? Never trust a bartender lol
Lol. Cheers and thanks for watching
Cool episode, I’m subscribed
Thanks!!
What an awesome retro Vespa! And loved the history lesson on the Sidecar -- they don't teach THIS stuff in schools (even though they totally should!)
AGREED! Thanks for watching! The history of cocktails is the history of civilization. Cheers
This is a great cocktail and so well presented.
Thank you David! Always appreciate when you stop by. Cheers!
Love seeing your copies of those classic cocktail books!! I always like hearing the history
Awesome! Thanks Jamie!
The sidecar was one of my early faves when I got into cocktails - such a great drink
