Sidecar

A timeless classic from the Prohibition era, the Sidecar is the definitive cognac sour. It perfectly balances the warmth of brandy with the crisp tartness of fresh lemon and the sweet, citrusy notes of Triple Sec. This sophisticated cocktail is traditionally served in a sugar-rimmed glass for added texture and sweetness.
