The Sidecar
Holiday 2016
Some experts use equal proportions of Cognac, Cointreau and lemon juice; I prefer a more spirited emphasis, the better to taste the brandy.
Makes 1 drink
1½ oz Cognac such as Meukow Feline VSOP
¾ oz Cointreau
½ oz freshly squeezed lemon juice
Ice
A twist of orange zest
1 Add Cognac, Cointreau and lemon juice to a cocktail shaker half-filled with ice. Shake vigorously and strain into a cocktail glass. Pinch orange zest an inch above the glass to release oils. Discard zest.
