This Hennessy Sidecar recipe is the best way to use this popular cognac! Blend it with Cointreau and lemon for the perfectly sour classic cocktail.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ounces Hennessy
  • 1 ounce Cointreau
  • 1 ounce lemon juice
  • For the garnish: lemon twist or orange twist
  • Superfine sugar rim, optional

Instructions

  1. Cut a notch in a lemon wedge, then run the lemon around the rim of a cocktail glass. Dip the edge of the rim into a plate of superfine sugar.
  2. Place all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with a handful of ice and shake until cold.
  3. Strain the drink into the prepared glass.
  4. Garnish with a lemon twist or orange twist.

Notes

Superfine sugar works well for a sugar rim since it sticks to the glass better than granulated sugar. You can use granulated sugar if it’s all you have, but it can fall off into the drink, making it taste a shade sweeter.
