Sidecar with Chartreuse

Glass Coupe
Method Shaken
Garnish lemon twist

A cognac sour pointed toward the herbal: green Chartreuse stands in for the usual orange liqueur, lemon keeps it bright, a dash of Angostura ties it together. Bracing, aromatic, and a touch grand.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 oz Cognac
  • 1/2 oz Green Chartreuse
  • 3/4 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1/4 oz Simple Syrup
  • 1 dash Angostura Bitters

Method

Add cognac, green Chartreuse, lemon juice, simple syrup, and Angostura to a shaker filled with ice. Shake until well chilled. Double-strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with a lemon twist.
