As with most classic cocktails, The Sidecar is made from simple ingredients. The catch? They have to be quality or it'll suck. Luckily for you, our Classy Courvoisier Sidecar is made with the finest Courvoisier VS Cognac and the sidecar-MUST that is Cointreau.
It might be made with just three ingredients, but don't be fooled by its simplicity if you've never tried it. The Classy Courvoisier Sidecar boasts an entrancing complexity made to impress even the most jaded palates, with none of the OTT mixological frills that might scare away an acolyte tippler. *Klink!*
