Sidecar

Both London and Paris lay claim to this one, The Cocktail Chronicles says, and author Paul Clarke makes an excellent argument for a 2:1:1 ratio of ingredients. That said, I’ll stick to equal parts. This recipe makes 1 drink.

Ingredients

  • 1 ounce Cognac or high-quality brandy
  • 1 ounce Cointreau
  • 1 ounce fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Combine all three ingredients with ice in a cocktail shaker; shake until chilled, strain into a chilled coupe.
