Sidecar !

Ingredients:

2 ounces VSOP Cognac, Armagnac, or good California brandy

1 ounce Cointreau

3/4 ounce fresh lemon juice

Superfine sugar, for garnish (optional)

Orange or lemon twist, for garnish (optional)

Directions:

Optional: Prepare cocktail glass by making a slit in a lemon wedge and running the cut edge around the rim of the glass; then dip the rim in a saucer of superfine sugar to create a thin crust. Chill the glass until needed.

Combine brandy, Cointreau, and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker and fill with ice. Shake well until chilled, about 10 seconds. Strain into prepared glass; garnish with a twist of orange or lemon peel, if the urge comes across.

Product Insight 04

Hello and welcome to Dramante’s fourth product insight! In this edition (04) we will take a closer look at the Torres 30 Jaime I Brandy which is available on our website!

Torres 

Jaime and Miguel Torres found the Familia Torres company. Jaime I received the prize for best brandy in the world at the world brandy awards. Jaime I is a special 30 year old Spanish brandy from Torres, named for the founder of the House, Jaime Torres Vendrell. It's a blend of brandies from their oldest soleras, including Parellada wines originally destined for the Torres 10 aged for an extra chunk of time and a small amount of their rare 1972 Folle Blanche eaux-de-vie. The bottle design is by Japanese architect Hiroya Tanaka.

How to drink Brandy

It is very common to drink brandy neat or on the rocks. For those looking for an intense experience, drinking brandy neat is definitely the way to go. All you need is a tulip-shaped glass, pour the brandy in and savour the flavour. If you prefer your brandy with a bit of dilution, try serving it on the rocks - simply pour over small cubes of ice or an ice ball and sip away.

Brandy can also be paired with mixers or syrups to create a variety of cocktails such as: 

The Old Fashioned 

Brandy Sour

Eggnog

Martini

Brandy and Ginger

Brandy Sidecar 

Brandy Alexander

What food to eat with Brandy

Brandy is a complex drink with sweet, floral, and fruity notes, and it can be drunk on its own, but pairing it with the right food can elevate the whole tasting experience. 

When it comes to pairing brandy with cheese, you can’t go wrong with a good classic pairing like Gouda or cheddar. Their nutty and buttery flavours complement and bring out the caramel and vanilla notes in the brandy. 

Roasted meats - The rich flavour profile of brandy makes it an ideal choice with roasted meats. The smokiness and depth of flavours in meats like beef, lamb, or venison compliment the brandy’s natural sweetness and nuttiness.

Fruits and nuts like figs, grapes, almonds, and hazelnuts have a natural sweetness that pairs beautifully with brandy. 

The fruit and oak notes of brandy are an excellent match for spicy foods. The spirit’s warm and bold finish enhances the heat in spicy dishes while the sweetness of brandy balances the hotness. 

Brandy makes an excellent companion for sweet treats, especially those with a warm and comforting aroma. For example, bread pudding, apple pie, or cinnamon rolls. 

Did you know? 

Because of brandy's natural warming properties, it helps induce healthy sleep. In addition to that, the antibacterial nature of the drink makes it great for strengthening the immune system. Brandy can help eliminate pathogens from a person's system and can boost the immune system thanks to its many antioxidants. So, yes it's true that Brandy can help get rid of a cold and cough!
