This is our riff on the classic Sidecar, which is traditionally cognac based. By substituting Batch 22 for the cognac, you wind up with a herbaceous, not too sweet cocktail that's had its citrus component turbo-charged.
Ingredients
- Orange wedge and sugar for rim
- 1½ oz. Batch 22 Classic Gold
- ¾ oz. orange liqueur
- ¾ oz. freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Orange peel for garnish
To prepare the rim, rub the rim of the glass with the orange wedge. With the sugar on a saucer, dip either half or the entire rim of the glass in the sugar to coat.
In a cocktail shaker with ice, combine aquavit, orange liqueur, and lemon juice.
Shake well to chill and strain into the prepared glass.
Garnish with an orange peel.
