An approachable Sidecar riff overflowing with pineapple and orchard fruit notes 🍍🍎🍹 The blend of Calvados, overproof brandy, and single malt scotch creates a base with fruit flavors and a touch of smoke that work in great harmony with the pineapple (from tepache and splash of pineapple liqueur) and citrus flavors (lemon juice). The tannic notes from the Earl Grey tea syrup and the funkier notes in the fermented tepache add some additional nuance and a refreshing finish 1 oz Calvados (Apple brandy (sometimes with pears included, as in pictured bottle) from Domfrontais region of France) .5 oz Overproof Brandy (Bertoux, Copper & Kings; younger cognac can also sub) .5 oz Single Malt Scotch from Campbeltown (Glen Scotia, Springbank 10; a blended malt like Great King St Glasgow can sub) .75 oz Fresh Lemon Juice .5 oz Earl Grey tea syrup (brew Earl Grey tea in 4 oz water; add equal volume of granulated sugar to tea and stir until dissolved) Tsp Pineapple Liqueur (Giffard; can sub pineapple gomme syrup) Shake with ice and strain into a chilled double rocks glass with a few ice cubes. Top with 1.5 oz of tepache (tasty fermented pineapple beverage popular in Mexico). Garnish with a cocktail umbrella #weekendtiki
