History

A Scotch whisky Sidecar. The citrus has been trimmed back from the classic proportions to allow the whisky to shine.

This recipe is adapted from R. de Fleury's 1934 book, 1700 Cocktails for the Man Behind the Bar. The drink named "PROSPERITY" consists of: 1 Dash Orange Bitters, ¼ Lemon Juice, ¼ Cointreau, ½ Vat 69 Whisky.
