About the Brandy Crusta
Created in 1850s New Orleans, considered a precursor to the Sidecar.
Missing something?
- No cognac? Use Brandy (Cognac is a grape brandy; any decent brandy works)
- No maraschino liqueur? Use Kirsch (Dry cherry spirit; add a little simple syrup)
- No triple sec? Use Grand Marnier (Richer and cognac-based)
- No triple sec? Use Blue Curaçao (Same flavour, but turns the drink blue)
- No lemon juice? Use Lemon (Squeeze fresh: 1 lemon gives about 30 ml)
- No lemon juice? Use Lime Juice (Sharper, different aroma)
- No angostura bitters? Use Peychaud's Bitters (Lighter, with more anise)
