History:
Created by yours truly in December 2024, utilising newly arrived bottles of cardamom & ginger-flavoured vodka and winter spiced sugar syrup.
Review:
Delicately spicy with gingerbread spiced brandy, cranberry and citrus freshness. Spiced vodka adds flavour and lightens the heaviness of a traditional all-cognac Sidecar.
