Happy Hour Friday (6)

I have a 2 for 1 deal for you today!

If you ever thought Brandy was an old man's drink, well you are right. It is. However, if you ever come into possession of a bottle of Brandy, here are some ideas of how to get rid of it:

Hot Toddy (perfect for a chilly evening, especially if you have a cold)
1 shot of Brandy
1 tbsp of honey
Juice from 1/4th of a lemon
Pour hot water over this concoction, stir, and drink. It will soothe your sore throat and hopefully let you skip the Nyquil.

Sidecar (this is so yummy!)
Fill a shaker with ice. Add the following:
1 part Brandy
1 part Triple Sec (or more traditionally, simple syrup if it's handy)
Juice from 1/2 lemon

Shake with vigor. Strain into a sugar-rimmed martini glass. Enjoy.
