Every day. For 2 weeks! I can imagine doing that in NYC, but finding cocktail bars in London (at least ones that aren't dodgy chains) takes a bit of doing. When people accuse me of being obsessive, it's nice to have friends and acquaintances who I can point to and say: "No, that guy over there? He's obsessive. I'm merely highly entusiastic." :D Dear lord, Jamie, that’s 5 bars a day. Every day. For 2 weeks!

I spent 5 days in each city and visited 125 bars during this time. As I started in Paris, I decided that the Sidecar would be my control drink (and first drink) at each bar. 125 Sidecars later, I still love the drink (when made properly).

The version made with American applejack is called an Applecar. Hillary -- yep, it's a bit like a grown-up lemondrop :) Kaitln & Jennifer: Two women with great taste Cookie: Thanks for the eau de vie. As you can see, we put it right to good use! Cedar: Not sure where you are located, but the Clear Creek is pretty easy to find on the West Coast and in good liquor stores in big cities. If you can't find it, other brands will work, but you may need to balance the proportions a bit. AforC: Thank you! We love the storytelling part of blogging, and we're glad you found us, too. :) Helen — I think if you made it with Calvados, it would be delicious.

I swear, if the tree shows signs of fruit this spring, we'll be tying some bottles on. For you. I love a sidecar, but I've never had one with sugar on the rim. Ick. Eeee!
