🥃 Serve in: Coupe Glass
Cognac and gold rum split the spirit base here in equal measure, brightened with triple sec and lemon juice and sharpened with a couple drops of saline solution. The rum adds a layer of caramel sweetness a straight Sidecar doesn't have. Its suggestive name matches its strength -- this is not a light sipper. Shaken hard and served up, a favorite among fans of spirit-forward sours.
Shake all ingredients with ice and fine strain into a chilled coupe. Express a lemon zest twist over the drink and use as garnish.
