More from the Sidecar family.
Tommy's Margarita
Tequila, lime, and agave nectar — the Margarita with the orange liqueur removed so the agave can talk.
Corpse Reviver No. 2
Equal parts gin, Cointreau, Lillet, and lemon over an absinthe rinse. Craddock's morning cure; four of these, he warned, would undo the work.
Cosmopolitan
Citron vodka, Cointreau, lime, and a measure of cranberry. The nineties drink that was always better than its reputation.
