    Anejo Sidecar is a great cocktail for tequila lovers! It is like the classic Sidecar cocktail but it is made with Anejo tequila instead of cognac. It makes a really impressive party drink or after dinner drink.

    Another great Anejo Tequila drink to check out is my Blackberry Tequila Smash! If you prefer Silver Tequila, my go-to is the Tequila Soda.

    What is a Sidecar

    A Sidecar is an old fashioned drink that was popular in the early 1900’s & 1920’s, around the time of the end of World War 1. It was a drink served in hotels in London and Paris, after guests had traveled far. Especially if they were traveling in the sidecar of a motorcycle, which was popular at the time. The cocktail is appropriately named after the sidecar of a motorcycle!

    A traditional sidecar is made with cognac, triple sec, and lemon juice, served in a stemmed glass with a sugared rim.

    Anejo Tequila

    Anejo tequila is a darker colored tequila that has been aged in oak barrels for 1 year. It has a light smokey flavor on the front and the finish is sweet and caramely.

    Traditionally it is sipped neat or on ice, but we LOVE it in this Sidecar cocktail!

    Glassware

    A Sidecar is traditionally served in a coupe glass or a smaller stemmed cocktail glass. You could also serve this in a champagne flute or martini glass.

    Equipment

    • Cocktail Shaker

    Ingredients

    • 2 oz Anejo Tequila
    • 1 oz fresh squeezed lemon juice
    • 1 oz triple sec
    • .5 oz agave syrup
    • ice
    • white sugar and lemon peel twists for serving
    Prevent your screen from going dark while you are cooking!

    Instructions

    • Place the sugar on a flat plate. Run a lemon wedge around the rim of your glass. Dip the rim of the glass into the sugar.
    • Fill your cocktail shaker half way with ice. Pour in 2 oz Anejo Tequila, 1 oz Triple Sec, 1 oz fresh squeezed lemon juice, and .5 oz agave syrup. Pop the lid on the shaker.
    • Vigorously shake the cocktail for 20 seconds. This will break little shards of ice into your cocktail making it extra cold and delish!!
    • Pop the strainer cap off the cocktail shaker and pour the drink into the sugar rimmed glass. Garnish with a lemon twist (which is lemon peel without the white pith)

    Notes:

    A sidecar is traditionally served in a coupe glass but you can serve it in a smaller stemmed glass or martini glass.
