I'm not usually a fan of sweet cocktails, but this one is perfectly balanced. The citrus flavors really cut through the sweetness of the orange liqueur.

I've made this Sidecar countless times and it's always a hit. The key is to use high-quality ingredients, especially the cognac. I like to use a VSOP or XO cognac for a richer flavor.
