365 Drinks A The Year: #2 Lazy Sidecar

I was recently perusing some booze forums in which someone got into an argument over The Sidecar and how nothing could be changed about it without ultimately creating another drink which could no longer be called a Sidecar. We at Boozeblogger frown on the douchiness that infects pretty much every other drinking site out there so we're just going to make our drinks however the hell we like; if that's ok with you. So I'm calling today's drink the "Lazy Sidecar" since it does not require any cognac or juicing, rather it's just stuff you probably have around. The idea is to retain some of the core flavors and create something a little easier to make and a little more drinkable.

Lazy Sidecar

1 high ball glass (or some other glass-like-thing capable of holding ice)

1 part Southern Comfort

1 part Triple Sec

1/2 part Bacardi Limon (or, again, just some kind of sweet lemon-flavored booze)

Club Soda to fill (oh yes, I did)

Fill your rocks glass (and/or cup-like structure) almost to the brim with ice. Add your booze. Top it off with some club soda. The best way to mess up this drink is with too much of your lemon flavored booze. Start with 1/2 part Limon and increase to taste: I found this to be the fine line between tasty beverage and Pine Sol.
