Left Bank Sidecar

AI-generatedEasyCoupe

Elegant and tart with a whisper of orange — this drink belongs on a zinc bar in a narrow Parisian street.


Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 oz Brandy
  • 3/4 oz Cointreau
  • 3/4 oz Lemon juice
  • 1/4 oz Simple syrup
  • 1 dash Angostura bitters

Method

  1. 11. Chill a coupe glass in the freezer for at least 5 minutes.
  2. 22. Combine brandy, Cointreau, lemon juice, simple syrup, and bitters in a shaker.
  3. 33. Add ice and shake hard for 15 seconds to achieve full integration and proper chill.
  4. 44. Fine-strain into the chilled coupe.
  5. 55. Run a lemon wedge around the rim and serve immediately.

PRO TIP

Freshly squeezed lemon juice used within 20 minutes of juicing retains a brightness and complexity that pre-squeezed juice simply cannot match — it is the difference between a good Sidecar and a great one.

Garnish — Lemon wheel on rim
