Sidecar is a classic cocktail consisting of cognac, lemon-juice and Cointreau. The Sidecar is an excellent example of the holy three' cocktail design principle. This involves combining a base spirit with either a sour, or sweet ingredient. Variations of the basic riff can be found throughout bartenders' drink books. The Sidecar is very close to the Margarita, which has tequila mixed with lemon juice.
Cognac
Sidecar is a traditional cocktail with orange liqueur, cognac and lemon juice. The ingredients used in the Sidecar are very similar to the brandy crusta but the proportions and presentation are different.
Orange liqueur
The Sidecar is a simple cocktail made with cognac, orange liqueur, and lemon juice. It is known for its refreshing taste and simple ingredients. You can make large batches of Sidecars for parties, or smaller quantities for everyday drinking.
Lemon juice
Sidecar cocktail is a classic drink, created in early 20th-century. Original recipe published in 1922. It contains one-sixth of a glass cognac brandy and two-thirds gill fresh lemon juice. It has a sweet flavor, but not as sweet than a Cosmopolitan. If you like a cocktail with a low sugar content, you may want to try the Sidecar. It's also slightly less sweet than the classic Lemon Drop Martini. Sidecars are also slightly less sweet than classic Lemon Drop Martinis, which uses vodka.
Simple syrup
Sidecar, a simple syrup cocktail, is made with two types of sugar. It is a sweet and bitter drink. The name comes from the sidecar attachment that motorcycles have. The recipe was first mentioned in 1934 and is documented in three different books, including Burke's Complete Cocktail & Drinking Recipes and Gordon's Cocktail & Food Recipes. Two parts Demerara sugar to one part water is required for this cocktail. The syrup has a caramel-like taste and silky texture. It can also be used in non-alcoholic beverages such as lemonade and ice tea.
MacElhone's
Sidecars were a classic cocktail that was first created in Paris in 1925. The name was inspired by a sidecar-riding client. It is normally served straight up without the bonus shaker. This cocktail was credited to Harry MacElhone, a bartender at Harry's New York Bar in Paris. It is made with cognac and has a sugared rim.
Remy Martin
Remy Martin's drink sidecar allows you to fully enjoy the smooth and rich taste of this premium brand. This classic cocktail is created by mixing two types of Cognac, Petite Champagne, and Grande Champagne and then ageing them in oak barrels made from seasoned Limousin. The result is a drink as smooth as butter and delicious as it tastes.
