ABOUT
This classic comes from The Savoy Cocktail Book (1930) by Harry Craddock. I originally described this as basically a Sidecar that ditched the sugared rim and focused on balance. Bright, citrusy, and just rich enough from the cognac. A couple of folks then brought up the more correct comparison of it being similar to a Corpse Reviver No. 2. with Cognac and no absinthe. Regardless, this one is simple, clean, and seriously underrated. Cheers y’all!
