Pretty please with sugar on top - how to make the Brandy Crusta!

Today I'll show you how to make the Brandy Crusta! This one played an important role in cocktail history. Without it, we might not have such cocktail favorites as the Sidecar. And a world with the Sidecar would be a very sad place - thankfully that's not the world we live in. The Brandy Crusta is ornate, fun, and pretty darn tasty! Cheers, everybody!
