Sidecar
Cognac shines over freshening lemon and orange zestiness. Hopefully, you'll find this recipe perfectly balanced, but those with a sweet tooth may prefer...

I've always done my Sidecar to a simple 2:1:1 recipe, but I decided to try this variant and my goodness was it tasty and balanced! easing down the Triple Sec and adding sugar syrup made for a bigger divergence than I expected! I think this is going to be my new regular Sidecar go-to!

I like the “exponential decay” sidecar 2 oz brandy, 1 oz triple sec, 1/2 oz lemon juice. The best part is that you never run out of this drink…. (Sorry, bad math teacher joke)

I'll have to give that a try sometime! Depending on the brandy, a Sidecar can vary so much that small changes to the trimmings turn it into a new drink.
It's one of the reasons it's such a classic!
