Sidecar




A few years ago, I had my first Sidecar at the Ralph Lauren restaurant in Chicago. The sidecar is a classic cocktail composed of cognac, Cointreau and fresh lemon juice - a concoction that is sure to warm you up in any cold weather. To prepare a sugar rim, moisten the martini or old-fashioned glass with juice from a lemon wedge and place the glass down onto a plate filled with sugar. Rotate a few times until your liking. Next, shake the following ingredients over ice and pour into sugar-rimmed glasses:

2 measures cognac
1 measure Cointreau
1 measure fresh lemon juice

Cheers!
