Classic Sidecar

Prep time: 5 min
Yield: 1 serving
Cuisine: Cocktail
Ingredients: 1.5 oz Cognac; 1 oz Cointreau® Orange Liqueur; 0.5 oz Lemon Juice

Bright, tangy and slightly sweet, the Classic Sidecar balances warm, fruity Cognac with orange liqueur and sharp lemon, finished by a frosted sugar rim and a lemon twist. It pours a clear amber into a chilled cocktail glass and is worth trying for its elegant balance of boozy depth and refreshing citrus bite.
