Sidecar & Soda?

[mbanu]

My latest drink infatuation seems to be with a summertime version of the Sidecar, made by taking a Sidecar, sticking it in a highball glass and topping it off with soda water. Quite a refreshing drink, but I haven't a clue what it's called. Since I'm not so pretentious as to think that something this obvious could be an original idea of mine, I thought I would go fishing for its proper name. Any ideas??

Sidecar Fizz?

[KatieLoeb]

I'd call it - Diluted.

Still haven't found a name, but I did find a name for a sister drink, the Alabazam, basically a Sidecar & Soda with bitters, although the recipes floating around on those online cocktail databases are kinda unbalanced.

I agree with Sam. Why wouldn't a Sidecar topped with soda just be a Sidecar Fizz?

I thought the nomenclature rules were that X topped with soda became an X Fizz.
