Royal Sidecar

Carl Amoth's Bar

Makes 2 cocktails

Cognac and Licor 43 in place of triple sec, a Chambord drop for color—elegant and citrus-bright.

Ingredients
  • 4 oz cognac (Rémy Martin 1738)
  • 1 ½ oz Licor 43
  • 1 ½ oz fresh lemon juice
  • 2 barspoons Chambord
Method
  1. Shake with ice and strain into a coupe (optional sugar rim).
  2. Drop in the Chambord; it settles for color.

Note. Licor 43 stands in for the orange liqueur a Sidecar usually needs.
