Cocktail of the Week - Sidecar

Classic Sidecar, originally uploaded by chipandandy.

1oz Brandy
1oz Cointreau
1oz Lemon Juice

Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. An old classic served on decadent Sunday because it was very popular in Paris around the heyday of the Surrealists. The name is said to have come about due to an eccentric army captain who was chauffeured to and from the bar in a motorcycle sidecar.

Cheers!
