Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp. superfine sugar
- 1 lemon wedge
- 1½ oz. cognac
- 1 oz. Cointreau or other triple sec
- ½ oz. fresh lemon juice
Method
- Spread the superfine sugar on a small plate, rub the lemon wedge halfway around the rim of a chilled martini or coupe glass, and dip the moistened side of the glass into the sugar so the outside rim carries a light coating; set the glass aside.
- Combine the cognac, Cointreau and fresh lemon juice in a cocktail shaker, fill the shaker with ice, and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds until the drink is well chilled.
- Strain the sidecar into the prepared sugared glass and serve it at once.
