Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Pour the 2 tablespoons sugar into a shallow dish. Rub the rims of two sidecar glasses with a Meyer lemon wedge, then dip the rims into the sugar to coat them evenly.
-
Step 2.
Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice cubes or crushed ice. Add the ½ cup freshly squeezed Meyer lemon juice, ½ cup bourbon, and ¼ cup orange liqueur (preferably Cointreau, or substitute maple syrup or honey simple syrup).
-
Step 3.
Cover the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled. Strain the mixture into the prepared glasses and serve immediately.
