After a full Saturday of tinkering in the kitchen.... I just had to try out a classic sidecar cocktail with a rosemary demerara sugar rim.
Sometimes a full rim garnish is too much. Limiting, too, if every sip has a salt or sugar gatekeeper.
I started with about a third of the glass. That third wasn't enough.
The rosemary elevated our house Kirkland cognac into something really special, and I wanted more immediately.
Yeah, I took a more stylized marketing photo, but this is how I felt about the flavors. More, please; when the flavors are this good, I care less about elegance.

This has become a very long late night ramble. Thank you for attending. If you're free tomorrow, swing by the women-owned business market at Jenny in the City and say hey. 💜
