description: Try this simple mix of cognac, lemon juice and Cointreau – it tastes more complex than you might think
encoded: Try our sidecar cocktail recipe then check out our manhattan cocktail, cosmopolitan cocktail and more cocktail recipes. Our drinks expert, Hannah Guinness, shares her at-home bar tips to help you take your sidecar to the next level. What is a sidecar? Thought to have originated around World War One, this classic cognac-based creation is winningly easy to make with just three ingredients. Zingy and citrussy, it’s a great choice for those who like sour cocktails – if you enjoy drinking margaritas then you’ll love the sidecar. Sidecar ingredients Opt for a younger cognac here, where the fruity and floral flavours will work well in the drink. Freshly squeezed lemon juice is also best. A sidecar is open to variation so feel free to play around with the base ingredients. You can swap the cognac for aged dark or golden rum, or bourbon whisky. Alternatively, try using a ginger liqueur instead of the Cointreau. Bar hacks and garnishes A sidecar is often served with a sugar rim on the glass to sweeten the cocktail as you sip. It’s not essential but as the cocktail is fairly dry and sour, it can balance out the flavours if you have a sweeter tooth. Sidecar recipe

"Add four ice cubes per cocktail in the batch and blend until all the ice has melted. Perfect for frothy sours with egg whites for a silky smooth texture. Just pop your glasses into the freezer beforehand and serve." Jack Sotti has worked across the drinks industry, from head of advocacy at Diageo to co-founding drinks consultancy agency Supernacular. He joined Sweeties as head bartender early this year. standardhotels.com/sweeties For more cocktails for a crowd, take a look at our best jug cocktails.
