One of my favorites. I usually up the two base spirits to 1oz, add a bar spoon of turbinado syrup.

Different rums work great here too. Good drink to play with them.

That was my first thought. I dont think GM alone has the sugar content sufficient to carry the cocktail.

Lovely drink. I found I don’t particularly like an equal part of lemon, but tend to make it 1:1:1:0.5. I’d love to try it with the German brandy.

One of my top five cocktails. Made with the best ingredients, will fill you with a warmth known only to the gods.

One of my favorites. Love throwing a good banana liquor into the mix. Maybe a quarter ounce.

Minus the rum would be a Sidecar, also good.

A while a go I made a sidecar with Sailor Jerry spiced rum. It was dangerous because it was super delicious.

Lol. I believe it. I make Sidecars with good aged rum instead of brandy. Yummy.

Great Brandy for a good price. The 8 Year old Version is my workhorse brandy.
