Use high-quality Cognac for the best flavor profile. Adjust the lemon juice to your preference. Some prefer a slightly sweeter or more tart cocktail. Chilling your glass beforehand will help keep your Sidecar perfectly cool. For an extra touch, express the oil from a lemon peel over the drink and discard the peel.
