In this final episode of the first season, Jason and Yvonne spend valuable time with Oscar-nominated, “brother” Kemp Powers -- journalist, screenwriter, playwright, journalist and now, director. This grounded, yet uplifting conversation circles around this notion: to maintain truth and integrity in storytelling, we must bring ourselves into the story and we do so by holding steadfast to emotional honesty and by creating empathy. This way, we create a great story, and a great story brings us together.
This week:
Cocktail: Sidecar
A gorgeous, savory drink that is cognac forward with a delightful citrus kick.
Recipe
*Jason prefers to dial back (or ramp up!) on these two ingredients and uses ½ oz Cointreau and ½ oz lemon juice in his recipe as a perfect way to tell the Sidecar story
History & Meaning
The Sidecar:
Like many cocktails, the Sidecar’s history and origination is attributed to more than one story. Here at Lagralane Spirits, and for the emphasis of this episode’s title, we both honor and perhaps exploit the story of the sidecar by making it our own.
