Seeing blood oranges in the market inspired us to mix up this new cocktail, and it is a hit! We LOVE Sidecars here at 505 Spirits, and we are always looking for a new twist on this classic cocktail. Blood orange gives this a gorgeous color and a pleasantly, slightly bitter citrus taste that is really lovely with the smooth, rich flavor of our D'UVA 1 Brandy and the sweetness in the Orange You Glad to See Me?. A sugar cube brings perfect balance to taste.
See recipe below.
