The sidecar is a classic cocktail which most bartenders know, but seems to be rarely ordered. Part of this is because it is poorly made, and more often than not made with sour mix instead of fresh ingredients. Properly made this drink should be made with cognac (or brandy), Cointreau, and fresh lemon juice. There are however a variety of ways these ingredients can be combined, the secret is how to do so in a way that presents a perfect balance.

This is the ratio I like.

An alternative to coating the rim with sugar is to add simple syrup before shaking. Either way, sugar is an essential element of this cocktail, IMO, as it's all about that perfect balance between the sweet and the sour.

+Sonny Williamson Please don't add simple syrup to a Sidecar, the sweetness is in the Cointreau. If your palate still finds this to be on the sour side try using less lemon juice.

Qué buen video! Muchas gracias.

It does the job and makes it look great! Thanks for watching! Small Screen

My all time favorite cocktail. I really enjoy making it with closer to a full ounce of lemon juice and balancing that out with just a small dash of raw (turbinado) sugar syrup. So good.

Ah, perfect! Small Screen

What a taste cocktail when made with this ratio. Love it.

@SmallScreenNetwork 11 лет назад

Great suggestion, benji07! From what we see, it all depends on the bartender and what their preference is and the tools they have available. You are right though, a good double strain definitely leaves your cocktail looking good! Thank you for watching! Small Screen

I really like that lemon spring garnish, looks great! Thanks for the videos.

Excellent video with some real bartending without...special effects. Bravo.

@SmallScreenNetwork 9 лет назад

Glad you enjoyed it, zipopc! Thank you for watching!

Another excellent clip. It's good to see how different bartenders do a classic cocktail differently. That said, I had equal parts of each ingredient AND the sugar coated rim AND instead a orange wedge garnish. Tasted 5/5 Whereas with the cognac, I try to avoid the cheapest kinds. Taste-wise they differ so much e.g. Meukow vs any cheap "brandy" (although not the same product per se)

@SmallScreenNetwork 11 лет назад

That definitely sounds delicious! Do you make simple syrup with Turbinado sugar? Thank you for watching! Small Screen

@duffthepsych 11 лет назад

Yep! 2-1 rich syrup.

@ziggythecartoon 7 лет назад

What is the name of that juicer? That would be neat to have.

@saltydog9117 6 лет назад

ziggythecartoon He addressed it on another video. Apparently it’s a very old thing with no currently manufactured equivalent. 8 have a relatively inexpensive lemon/lime combo juicer that works really well.

first i'm gonna make this... ...and then i'm gonna drink this.

@aronpillay1287 5 лет назад

Can i use Hennessy vs for this cocktail

@SmallScreenNetwork 5 лет назад

Yes

@eberbacher007 9 лет назад

The problem with this drink is, that even if you measure the lemon, it can still be terrible, We have some lemon trees of our own and some lemons are just 30% more sour than the standard lemon, or sometimes less sour. this is really one of the cocktails where you need to have tasted a good one, and then try each one you make to see whether it needs more sour (easy) or has too much sour (problem,)

@GinEric84 8 лет назад

If it is too sour add a SMALL amount sugar :)

@axizz100 9 лет назад

any bar you guys own ?

@SmallScreenNetwork 9 лет назад

axizz100, Robert does not own a bar and is not a professional bartender. Jamie Boudreau and Jeffrey Morgenthaler, hosts of other series on Small Screen, both own their own bars in Seattle and Portland, respectively. Thank you for watching!

Gawd...shake that baby.

Dear Mr. Hess, I have tried many of your cocktails and I must say that I liked them all so far. Your recipes are great but with all due respect as a customer it would bother me to see the Cointreau (or any liqueur) with the dried sugar on the bottle beneath the cap. Even the sound while opening is annoying. I always have a wet towel while making my cocktails to wipe the bottles.
