That’s good to know, and certainly gives me something to think about. Thanks for letting me know.

Keep it up.

Hi, Ken, I’m delighted to learn that you’ve been following Cold Glass for so long. It’s the kind of thing that keeps me working. Thanks!

My taste for brandy has really grown over the last couple years. Back when I wrote up the Sidecar, it was pretty much the only place I ever used brandy, aside from sipping a little Cognac or Armagnac after dinner. I’ve come to appreciate it, and its cocktail history, considerably more with the passage of time, and the education of my palate.

As for soda, my choices are slim, and I haven’t done much research into the issue. My standard is Schweppes Club Soda, because I can get it easily from my local grocery. I haven’t looked into any of the lately-fashionable countertop soda chargers, mainly because I just don’t use soda all that much, and I’m too, um… frugal to shell out for something I wouldn’t use often. But then, who knows? My interests could change tomorrow—I’m such a slave to fashion…

I hope you enjoy that Harvard.

The Sidecar was the first cocktail that I made, and I’ve been intrigued by cognac or brandy cocktails since. I now look forward to making a Harvard soon! Thank you for sharing this!

I too found the soda ingredient interesting…

What are your thoughts on which soda to use in cocktails?
