We had these sidecars during the holidays and again shortly after. They are fun to make and easy to go down. Everyone we made it for was happy with it. For us, the original receipe was a little too sweet, so we cut the sugar by about 40%. That was perfect. I'm going to try Simple Syrup or Agave Sweetener the next time I make it - tonight! Great drink, great taste.
