Curious Sidecar

This cocktail was invented in France, likely at the Carlton Hotel in Cannes (French Riviera). It became an instant hit in London. In 1922, Robert Vermeire from the Embassy Club published the first recipe in Cocktails - How to Mix Them.

TWISTED RECIPE

The original recipe is slightly modified by using :

45 ml Martell VS

10 ml lemon juice
10 ml fresh pomegranate juice
5 ml red Italian bitter

Being served in a uncommon glass will bring some surprise as well. Double walled glasses will keep the cocktail colder for a longer time.
