About the Brandy Daisy

The Brandy Daisy is a sour cocktail featuring brandy as its base spirit. The combination of yellow Chartreuse and lemon juice gives it a unique herbal and citrus character that distinguishes it from other sour cocktails.

History

The Brandy Daisy first gained popularity in the late 19th century, with one of the earliest recipes appearing in Jerry Thomas's 1876 Bartenders Guide. It evolved over time with various variations and is considered a forerunner to cocktails like the Sidecar and Margarita.
