Episode 38: Bertoux Brandy with Jeff Bell

Oct 5, 2018

This week’s guest is veteran bartender Jeff Bell from legendary drinking den PDT in New York City. Jeff is the consulting master blender of an exciting new American born brandy called BERTOUX Brandy. It recently launched in New York and here in California where I caught up with Jeff at their recent launch party. Coming off of my visit to Cognac, I thought this was a great opportunity to introduce listeners to all things brandy and prep for our Cognac series coming up soon.
 
This week's featured cocktail is a Sidecar with specs from Jeff Bell 
 
Bertoux Brandy Sidecar 
1.5 oz of Bertoux Brandy
3/4 oz of Lemon Juice
1/2 oz Cointreau
1/4 oz Simple syrup
lemon wedge, granulated white sugar
 
To sugar a rim on a coupe glass, swipe a lemon wedge around the top edge of the glass and then dip into a sugar filled saucer to coat the rim with sugar. Place all cocktail ingredients into an ice-filled shaker and shake until well chilled. Strain into a chilled coupe glass with sugared rim.
