Classic Sidecar recipe

1 1/2 oz cognac
1 oz Cointreau® orange liqueur
1/2 oz fresh lemon juice

Take a lemon wedge, notch a slice into the middle and use it to moisten the rim of a chilled cocktail glass. Frost the moistened outer rim of the glass with superfine sugar. Shake ingredients together with cracked ice and strain into prepared cocktail glass. Garnish with lemon twist, and serve.

If you've never had a Sidecar, go with this version. Make sure you measure the lemon juice precisely or the drink can end up a bit sour. A classic cocktail that everyone should try at least once!
Great!
