The Sidecar is a classic French cocktail believed to have originated in Paris during World War I. It combines cognac, orange liqueur (Cointreau or triple sec), and fresh lemon juice, creating a perfectly balanced blend of sweetness and acidity. Traditionally served in a sugar-rimmed coupe glass, it is both sophisticated and refreshing, making it a timeless choice for cocktail lovers.
