Grzesiek and I came up with this drink (hi, Grzesiek!) at one of our summer parties on the balcony. It’s a variation on two classic cocktails, the Bourbon Triple Sour and the Sidecar. Our own twist was a splash of ginger ale to mellow it out. Not everyone likes their drinks as strong and sour as I do.
To my mind, this combination of flavours (whisky, orange liqueur and ginger) is just right for winter and the Christmas holidays.

How many calories? I don’t know
Ingredients:
- 50 ml whisky (bourbon or Scotch)
- 30 ml Cointreau
- 30 ml lemon juice
- Ice cubes
- Ginger ale (a non-alcoholic ginger soft drink, available in well-stocked supermarkets and at Kuchnie Świata)
Method:
Pop the ice cubes into a shaker, add the whisky, Cointreau and lemon juice, and give it a good shake. Strain into a cocktail glass (without ice) or a tumbler filled with fresh ice cubes. Top up with ginger ale to taste: a generous pour for a light, refreshing drink, or just a splash if you fancy something punchier.
The drink in all its glory:
