Last night I went to a fancy party in Boston, and had to wait at the bar for my husband to come and gather me up so I didn't walk into the room of people all alone. (As I am a shy one at heart.)

I sat down and ordered a sidecar, which is not a drink I usually have. But I had just suggested to my friend Danielle that she should try one, and it only seemed fitting that I take my own advice, right?

It was kind of amazing. (if you haven't yet, Danielle... tonight.)

First, it's served in a sugar rimmed martini glass, with it's own little mini jigger of extra (like a milkshake in a soda shop!)

Second, it's the perfect mix of totally different ingredients that work together, sweet and sour - and a little smooth to boot.

And third, there exists a completely random, but good, instructional video of Rachel Maddow telling you how to make one

Lastly, it's NOT eggnog.
