Sidecar
Cognac, Cointreau, and lemon under a sugar rim. The classic sour for a holiday weekend that deserves a proper drink.
Method
Run a lemon wedge around the rim of a glass and dip it in sugar.
Add the cognac, Cointreau, and lemon juice to a shaker with ice and shake for 8 seconds.
Strain into the sugared glass and express an orange peel over the top.
Notes from the line
The rim is the sweetener. Leave it off and the drink reads sharp.
