kathleen's Notes:

In his younger years, my dad William was a bartender for a while and he created this drink. It never had a name but he said it was similar to a side car. It's pretty darned good.

Comments from the Test Kitchen: Kitchen Crew

Even the folks on the Crew who aren't normally fans of brandy totally flipped for this tasty drink. I can't wait to make them again... and I might not be so quick to share this time!

Thanks. It really tickled me that you all like it so much, although technically it is my dad's recipe, not mine. If he were still with us he would be delighted to share it. Enjoy.
