Recipe

Ingredients:     

Cocktail

o grated lemon zest

o sugar

o 2 ounces Remy Martin VSOP cognac

o 1 ounce St. Germain liqueur

o ½ ounce fresh lemon juice

Garnish

o lemon peel

Method:

1. Moisten the rim of a cocktail

glass with lemon then invert it

into a shallow dish containing a

mixture of sugar and lemon zest

to coat the rim of the glass.

2. Shake remaining cocktail

ingredients over ice.

Remarks:

This a very different take on the

original sidecar. But one that is

quite satisfying in its own right.
