    Description

    A complicated name for a delightfully simple drink. This vodka version of a classic Sidecar cocktail is the perfect blend of sweet and tart and strong!

    Ingredients

    • 1 ounce, fluid Vodka
    • 1 ounce, fluid Cointreau
    • ½ ounces, fluid Lemon Juice
    • 2 Tablespoons Sugar For Rimming The Glass
    • 2 whole Lemon Wedges, One For Garnish, One For Rimming The Glass

    Preparation

    This drink can be tart so the sugar rim is highly recommended.

    Place a couple of tablespoons of sugar in a shallow dish. Run the edge of a cut lemon around the rim of your cocktail glass and dip the rim into the sugar. Set glass aside.

    Combine the vodka, Cointreau and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker filled with ice cubes and shake well. Pour into the rimmed glass and garnish with a wedge of lemon.
