Whiskey Sidecar with Broiled Lemon Juice Recipe

Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Place lemon halves cut-side up on a baking sheet.

Broil until lemon halves are blackened on the cut side about 10 minutes. Allow lemons to cool enough to handle. Squeeze juice from the lemons into a measuring cup. Measure out 3/4 fluid ounce broiled lemon juice reserving the rest for another use.

Pour sugar into a shallow bowl. Run lemon wedge around the rim of a cocktail glass; dip into sugar.

Combine whiskey orange liqueur and 3/4 fluid ounce broiled lemon juice in a cocktail shaker and add ice; cover and shake for 20 seconds. Strain drink into the prepared cocktail glass.
