Stonefruit Sidecar

The Sidecar, with Empirical Stonefruit in place of the orange liqueur.

Simple · 3 min

Empirical Stonefruit takes the orange liqueur's seat beside cognac and fresh lemon, with a touch of simple syrup. Its orchard fruit and marzipan round out the brandy's oak, and a sugar rim is there if you want it. Shake it hard and finish it with a citrus twist.
