Ruth’s Chris Blackberry Sidecar Recipe

If you're a cocktail enthusiast like me, you’re going to love making the Blackberry Sidecar from Ruth's Chris Steak House.

The combination of fresh blackberries, Remy Martin VSOP cognac, and Cointreau creates a balanced and refreshing flavor that's hard to resist.

I love how the addition of Fee Bros. Plum Bitters adds a unique twist to this classic drink.

Start by muddling the blackberries in a cocktail shaker to release their juices.

Add ice, cognac, Cointreau, lemon juice, and plum bitters, then shake until well-chilled.

Strain the mixture into a rocks glass filled with ice and garnish with extra blackberries.

Using fresh lemon juice makes a noticeable difference in the taste, so don’t skip that step.

Instructions

Start by muddling the blackberries in the bottom of your cocktail shaker.
This will release the juice and flavor from the berries.
Add the Cognac, Cointreau, and freshly squeezed lemon juice to the shaker.
Fill the shaker with ice and shake the mixture vigorously for about 30 seconds.
Prepare your serving glass by dipping the rim in lemon juice and coating it with sugar.
This adds a sweet touch to each sip.
Strain the cocktail mixture into your prepared glass.
Garnish with a skewer of blackberries and a sprig of thyme, if you like.
Serve immediately.
