Servings: 1
Ingredients:
Granulated sugar (for rim)
1 1/2 oz. cognac
3/4 oz. cointreau
3/4 oz. lemon juice, freshly squeezed
Orange twist, for garnish
Run an orange slice around the rim of your glass to wet it, and dip the edges in granulated sugar for a nice sugar rim (optional).
Fill a cocktail shaker with cognac, cointreau, and lemon juice. Add ice and shake until very cold.
Strain with a fine mesh strainer (or straight from your shaker) into a small cocktail glass (coupe). Garnish with an orange twist.
Notes:
The Sidecar is bright and flavorful - a perfect cocktail to make when oranges are in season.
