The Sidecar is a classic cocktail that originated in early 20th-century Paris, made by mixing brandy or cognac with triple sec and lemon juice.
This cocktail balances the rich depth of brandy, the citrusy sweetness of triple sec, and the bright tartness of lemon juice, delivering a refreshing yet elegant taste.

With an alcohol content of around 25โ€“28%, itโ€™s considered a strong drink, but its well-balanced flavors make it enjoyable even for seasoned drinkers.
Traditionally, itโ€™s served strained into a chilled coupe glass with a sugared rim, making it a perfect choice for formal occasions or sophisticated evenings.

As a representative of the classic โ€œshakingโ€ technique in cocktail history, the Sidecar continues to charm those seeking simple yet refined flavors.
