The Four O'Clock, by Logan.
A variation on the classic cocktail, the Sidecar. Inspired by a drink I had at clarklewis in Portland, OR. This is a helluva good drink...
You'll need brandy, Cointreau, lemon juice and Pear nectar. Cointreau is similar to triple sec -- but in the same way that Budweiser is similar to Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, so splurge and get the good stuff. Use a cocktail shaker and mix 2 parts brandy, 1 part Cointreau, 3/4 part lemon juice and 1 1/2 parts pear nectar.
Shake vigorously and pour into a frosted double old fashioned glass. Liss likes a sugared rim on the glass for this drink and I agree that it's a good addition to the recipe (many bars will add a sugared rim on the glass if you order a Sidecar).
Don't even bother making anything less than a double. You'll just be making another in a short while anyway...
