Sidecar
A good sidecar requires decent quality cognac. A cheap brandy won’t cut it here.
- 1 oz cognac
- 1 oz dry curaçao
- ½ oz lemon juice
- ½ oz simple syrup
- garnish: sugared rim and an orange twist, discarded
Rim a coupe glass with sugar and chill it in the freezer.
Add ingredients to a shaker and shake vigorously with ice. Strain into the prepared coupe.
Express the oils from an orange twist over the drink, then discard the peel.
