Sidecar

The Sidecar cocktail originated during World War I, possibly at Harry's New York Bar in Paris or Buck's Club in London. Its name is said to come from an officer who frequently arrived at the bar on the sidecar of a motorcycle and enjoyed this drink. The classic recipe follows the 'one-third' principle: 1/3 Cognac, 1/3 Cointreau, 1/3 lemon juice.

Flavor

The Sidecar balances the deep, woody notes of Cognac with the orange flavor of triple sec, while lemon juice provides a bright acidity, creating an elegant and balanced taste.
