A sidecar is a classic cocktail made with whiskey, orange liqueur, and lemon juice, typically served in a sugar-rimmed glass. The exact origins of the sidecar are unclear, but it is believed to have been created around the end of World War I in Europe. The sweet and tangy flavor of the orange liqueur and lemon juice balances perfectly with the rich and complex taste of the whiskey, creating a smooth and sophisticated drink that is perfect for sipping on a night out. To make a sidecar, simply mix whiskey, Cointreau, and fresh lemon juice in a shaker with ice, shake well, and strain into a chilled glass. It’s a simple yet elegant cocktail that has stood the test of time and remains a favorite among cocktail enthusiasts.
