Sidecar

Sugar, orange slice for frosting the glass
1 1/2 oz cognac
3/4 oz Cointreau
3/4 oz fresh squeezed lemon juice

Use orange slice to wet the outer rim of the glass. Dab into a saucer full of sugar. Tap glass to shake off extra sugar. Set aside for atleast 2 hours to allow the sugar to crystalize. Store in the freezer for 20 min before serving.

Fill a shaker 2/3 of the way with ice. Shake well and strain into the chilled glass. Garnish with an orange wedge.

The sugar rim is the perfect complement for the bitter cognac.
