Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Strainer
  • Martini glass
  • Jigger
  • Bar spoon
  • Citrus juicer

Ingredients

  • 2 oz cognac
  • 1 oz blue curacao
  • 1 oz triple sec or Cointreau
  • 1 oz fresh orange juice
  • ice cubes
  • maraschino cherry optional, for garnish

Instructions

  • Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice.
  • Add cognac, blue curacao, triple sec (or Cointreau), and orange juice.
  • Secure the shaker lid and shake firmly for about 15 seconds.
  • Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass.
  • Garnish with a maraschino cherry if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

This version is sweeter than the classic Sidecar—reduce triple sec for a drier drink, or add more orange juice for extra brightness. A sugared rim is optional. Always serve in a chilled glass for best flavor and look.
