Sidecar Cocktail Recipe

2 ounces VSOP Cognac, Armagnac, or good California brandy

1 ounce Cointreau

3/4 ounce fresh lemon juice

Superfine sugar, for garnish (optional)

Orange or lemon twist, for garnish (optional)

Prepare cocktail glass by making a slit in a lemon wedge and running the cut edge around the rim of the glass; then dip the rim in a saucer of superfine sugar to create a thin crust.
Chill the glass until needed.

Using a nice (but not outrageously old or expensive) VSOP cognac, a good Armagnac, or an excellent California brandy ensures this cocktail turns out well.

Combine brandy, Cointreau, and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker and fill with ice.
Shake well until chilled, about 10 seconds.
Strain into prepared glass; garnish with a twist of orange or lemon peel, if the urge comes across.

Enjoy!
