Renowned for its sour taste and vibrant appearance, the sidecar cocktail can be made ahead of time and frozen to sip on as slush, especially during the summer months. This version of the concoction provides balanced flavour, punctuated generously by citrus profiles, along with an inherent sweetness which gives it the mouthfeel of an alcohol-infused popsicle.
