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...

When making the Sidecar, I personally find that 30ml of Triple Sec is a little too much and that 15ml of lemon juice isn’t enough, we’re as making a Sidecar with both 22.5ml of Triple Sec and lemon juice, with the Hennessy Vsop cognac or any cognac of your choice still being 45ml, which ends up making the Sidecar a more balanced and quite the tasty drink

Hi Ryan. Please see link to "Difford's Sidecar recipe" above. This is more in line with yours.

Great seeing how the site is evolving with dates now showing when recipes were posted and the expanded discussion forum area which is amazing. I seem to spend so much more time on the site now, I can sit and browse recipes and comments for ages. Anyway, another request would be to please make discerning drinker's recipes searchable. The really crazy thing is that if you search for one of the recipes in Google you will find it on the Difford's site, but if you search on Diffords itself nothing comes up. If I forget to wishlist something as I'm browsing it just seems a shame that I have to leave the site to try and find it again at a later date.

I just tried your version, which is slightly similar from the way I would make a Sidecar, but your version of a Sidecar ends up being slightly better then my simple change to a Sidecar so thanks
