Sidecar
Legend says the Sidecar was born near the end of World War I for an army officer who arrived at a Paris bar in a motorcycle sidecar. Copper & Kings Butchertown Reserve Brandy from Kentucky replaces traditional cognac here, bringing warm vanilla, oak and spice to the drink’s bright citrus backbone.
