Vroom! Vroom!
The Sidecar has a storied past, filled with mystery and a touch of rebellion. Some say it was born during World War I, crafted for a dashing American Army Captain who zipped through European streets in—you guessed it—a motorcycle sidecar. Others claim the Ritz Hotel in Paris or London’s exclusive Buck’s Club first mixed it up in the roaring 1920s.
While the original was made with brandy, modern taste has steered the Sidecar into Bourbon territory—and honestly, we think that’s for the better.
This isn’t your average cocktail—it’s got grit, glamour, and just the right amount of bite.

1.5 oz Two Bitch™ Bourbon Small Batch With Bite™

0.75 oz Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice

It’s bold. It’s bright. It’s Bourbon in the fast lane.
