Thread: Sideways Sour: Alcohol Drink Recipe from the Baccarat Bar

I found a great alcohol drink recipe from the Baccarat Bar over at the Bellagio Las Vegas... just wanted to share it with you guys!

Sideways Sour
Total time: 15 minutes
Servings: 4

The sweet and sour will keep for 1 week, refrigerated.

Sweet and sour
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice

In a small saucepan, stir the sugar with one-fourth cup water over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Cool. Combine the cooled simple syrup and lemon juice. Makes 1 cup (8 ounces).

Cocktail assembly
8 ounces pisco
3 ounces Cointreau liqueur
6 ounces white grape juice
6 ounces sweet and sour
3 ounces California Pinot Noir
4 slices lemon
3 grapes

In a large pitcher filled with ice, add the pisco, Cointreau, grape juice and sweet and sour and stir to combine. Strain the cocktail into 4 old-fashioned glasses filled with ice. Slowly pour three-fourths ounce Pinot over the back of a spoon into each cocktail (the Pinot will float on top and slowly diffuse into the cocktail). Garnish with a lemon slice, and float the grapes on top of the drink (if they are still attached to the stem, you can hang the stem on the rim of the glass).

Here's a tip for you guys when serving this.. Combine the pisco, orange liqueur, grape juice and sweet and sour in a pitcher and pour over ice into cocktail glasses. Before handing a drink to each guest, slowly pour the wine over the back of a spoon so it floats on top.

And here's a picture of the finished product:
