INGREDIENTS

  • 45ml cognac or Armagnac, or bourbon
  • 25ml Cointreau orange liqueur
  • 25ml lemon juice
  • Lemon twist

METHOD

  1. Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Shake well.
  2. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
  3. Garnish with a lemon twist.

Tip: A classic addition to the Sidecar, which was mentioned in recipes from the early 1930’s, was to rim the glass with sugar. This is a nice contrast to the sour drink.
