Simple cut-out cookies that are delicious all year round. This recipe was given to me while I was in elementary school, so it’s a nice one to get the kids involved in.

This was easy to make and easy to drink!
Tasty! I made my first one from memory and was overwhelmed with lemon, which I like but it wasn’t what I was after. Using the correct proportions, I really enjoyed this and will keep the ingredients around.
Very refreshing
Delicious! I never had one before and I loved it.
This was delicious! We are having a Gatsby themed party and wanted period cocktails & food. This is a winner!
I love it! Nice change from whiskey coke 🙂 when I’m not feeling so lazy I will try the sugar rim.
dangerously delicious! I served this at a party and my girlfriends and I loved it! Boy, do these ever go down smoothly! I didn’t think to tell them that there was quite a bit of brandy in the drinks and although they were very happy at the party, they told me they were not feeling so happy the next morning.
Yummy. Hubby made this tonight. Very good!
Super refreshing
Very good recipe. Sugar the rim would make it 5 stars!
WoW!!!
Absolutely my favorite cocktail of all time! Dip the rim of your glass in sugar for a nice finishing touch.
delicious and dangerous! We had to have a second one, because the first was soo good!
Love this cocktail. Jimmy’s Harborside, Boston makes the BEST.
Delicious!
I use lime juice for the lemon juice and make that 1-1/2 oz of brandy. Otherwise this is a classic without the simple syrup. A plus for low cal
oh!…. these are top notch!…. very tasty I didn’t change a thing in the recipe
very tangy – goes great with spicy foods
Wonderful recipe! If you like a sweeter drink, then add a packet of Splenda before shaking.
I absolutely love Sidecars – they are best when served with a sugar-rim!
