History & Origins

City Slicker is a mid-20th century American cocktail with disputed origins, its name reflecting the urban sophistication that was associated with cocktail drinking culture in American cities. It belongs to the brandy sour family, which itself traces its lineage to the Sidecar and the classic European tradition of brandy-citrus cocktails. No single credited inventor exists for this specific recipe.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Grape and oak from the brandy, orange sweetness from the triple sec, and the bright tart note of fresh lemon juice. Palate: Spirit-forward with the brandy's depth and warmth leading; triple sec provides a sweetening orange note while lemon juice keeps the profile bright and tart. Finish: Clean and citrusy, medium-length with a brandy warmth.

Pro Tip

Use a good-quality VS or VSOP cognac or brandy rather than a cheap bottle, as the spirit's flavor is the dominant component in this simple recipe.
