El Sidecar es un cóctel clásico nacido en el París de los años 20. Coñac, licor de naranja y zumo de limón crean un perfecto trío, un elegante cóctel servido en una copa con borde de azúcar. Contiene la esencia de la cultura de cócteles de la época dorada.
History & Origins
The Sidecar's exact origin is disputed between Paris and London. One account credits Harry MacElhone of Harry's New York Bar in Paris around 1923, while another attributes it to Pat MacGarry at Buck's Club in London at a similar time. Both versions agree it was named after a motorcycle sidecar, allegedly the preferred mode of transport of a regular patron. It was codified in early cocktail guides and recognized by the IBA as an Unforgettable.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Cognac's dried fruit, vanilla, and oak with bright citrus from the lemon juice and orange peel notes from the Cointreau. Palate: Balanced and complex — the cognac provides depth and warmth, Cointreau adds citrus sweetness, and lemon juice brings a tart, refreshing acidity that ties the drink together. Finish: Dry and satisfying with lingering orange and lemon zest over a cognac warmth.
Pro Tip
Use a sugar-rimmed glass to add sweetness on each sip, and opt for a quality VSOP cognac for the best expression of the drink's complexity.
