With a balanced blend of brandy and other organic ingredients, a sidecar cocktail is often served in a sugar rimmed glass, featuring sour and crisp notes. One can opt for unique food options aside from the usual bar grub when it comes to savoury small bites that can be paired with the drink.
A traditional Japanese delicacy of golden-fried, battered prawns or ebi, the tempura is served with a soy dipping sauce that pairs well with the citrus flavours of the drink.
Sidecar cocktails are a solid pairing with the Indian version of meatballs because of their rich taste which elevates the drink’s sweet undertones as it counterpoints the kofta’s spices.
Originating from Germany, crunchy or soft pretzels and a tangy mustard dip make a delicious pairing for a sidecar – where one can even use them as a garnish for the cocktail for added presentation.
A Spanish tapas delicacy known for its crunchy fried exterior and fluffy interior, this potato-based snack is served with the contrasting flavours of tomato sauce and aioli – both of which highlight different nuances of the cocktail.
A traditional Turkish savoury pastry with fillings that boast of a buttery texture, these Ottoman-style pies are a delicious accompaniment to the citrusy cocktail. *Drink Responsibly. This communication is for audiences above the age of 25.
