This drink is all about balance—sweet meets sour with a smoky kick from the broiled lemon. Trust me, once you try this, you’ll be pouring another round for your friends. Let’s dive into what you need to make this exquisite cocktail.
Ingredients:
- 2 oz whiskey (your favorite brand)
- 1 oz fresh lemon juice
- 1 oz orange liqueur (like Cointreau or triple sec)
- 1 lemon for broiling
- Sugar for rimming the glass (optional)
- Ice cubes
Instructions:
- First things first, let’s get that broiled lemon ready. Preheat your broiler to high. Cut the lemon in half and place it cut side up on a baking sheet. Broil for about 5-7 minutes until it gets a nice char. This is where the magic happens!
- While the lemon is broiling, prepare your glass. If you like a little sweetness, rub the rim of your glass with a lemon wedge and dip it into sugar. Set aside.
- In a shaker filled with ice, mix together the whiskey, fresh lemon juice, and orange liqueur. Give it a good shake until it’s chilled. You want those flavors to blend perfectly.
- Once your lemon has cooled down a bit, squeeze the juice from one half into the shaker, and don’t forget to include the smoky bits for that extra depth. Shake again to combine.
- Strain the mixture into your prepared glass over fresh ice. You can use a fine mesh strainer if you want it super smooth.
- Garnish with the other half of the broiled lemon for that extra flair and a touch of smoky goodness. Enjoy your Whiskey Sidecar with Broiled Lemon Juice—it’s a drink that’ll have you feeling fancy!
So there you have it! A refreshing, smoky cocktail that’s perfect for any occasion. Whether you’re hosting friends or just treating yourself after a long day, this Whiskey Sidecar is sure to impress. Cheers!
