Gennaro's Sidecar
My version of the established Jamie's Italian Gennaro's Sidecar is a tad boozier than the original, but retains the balance between sweet limoncello liqueur...

This is quite a nice riff on a Sidecar, with the Limoncello coming through, giving this drink a nice sour & tart kick to a classic Sidecar, making this drink quite pleasant

This is just the ticket! Got two bottles of limoncello that needed using. I used Remy for the cognac part but otherwise stuck to the recipe. Think I just found my go to cocktail!

I went with Armagnac (Domaine Tariquet) instead of Cognac. For me, more subtle. Each to their own, of course; taste is the most mysterious of our five senses.

Perfection, nice and tart, sour but with a sweet back edge, lovely cocktail

Replaced the chilled water by 1/4 oz extra cognac (ABK6 VSOP) and used A. de Fussigny orange cognac liqueur, which is fairly orangey as such liqueurs go. No Pallini so used Bellini limoncello liqueur, figuring that was close enough. Lemons from Albertson’s, not Amalfi. Added a couple lemon twists to the shaker and garnished with lemon zest to be sure it was lemony enough. It was. Excellent!

Used a blood orange limoncello (so I guess an orangecello?) and it was heavenly.

Very close to the Lady's Sidecar in overall flavor. Maybe a little more balanced and definitely not as dry. It's interesting because this one "flip-flops" the sour/sweet notes vs the Lady's Sidecar. This one starts with the sweetness of the Limoncello and finishes with more of the citrus sour tones. Very nice though.

Delicious! And beautifully balanced. There is no point in trying to tinker with this one.
