The Sidecar
This French themed cocktail is both tart and delightfully "dry" and features cognac, orange liqueur and fresh lemon juice. A perfect way to try something different with fortified cognac, a high-quality brandy, properly that distilled in Cognac in western France. Nothing is fancier than this cocktail. ;)

- 2 oz cognac
Instructions
