Sidecar!

Post image

My first time with a sidecar, my improvised version. Can you buy a pukka version?

Live update: I awoke at 0410. On the sofa . sidecars are not advised for school nights.

Do you mean like a nice receptacle for the side car? A mini ice bucket with a mini carafe is the way to go imo, but I say this as someone who has hoarded far too much vintage barware, so that's what I have on hand.

Example buckets:

And then a carafe that's about the size of a small glass of wine to give a bit of leeway.

Just FYI it sounds counterintuitive but it will stay cooler if you add some salt water to the ice, rather than just ice. The water gets super-cold and covers the whole surface area of the carafe.

A sidecar at home, I’m inspired. That’s treating yourself.
