Nobu Sidecar Recipe
Before diving into the details of the Nobu Sidecar cocktail, let’s talk about what to serve alongside this delightful drink.
Equipment
- Cocktail shaker
Ingredients
- 2 oz cognac
- 1 oz orange liqueur like Cointreau®
- ½ oz freshly squeezed lemon juice
- ¼ oz freshly squeezed lime juice for a citrus twist
- 1 tsp white granulated sugar
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 1 dash of aromatic bitters optional, for depth of flavor
Instructions
- Ensure you have everything you need laid out before you start mixing. Make it easy on yourself - less clutter means smoother sailing.
- Grab a cocktail shaker. Fill it with ice cubes, then add the cognac, orange liqueur, lemon juice, lime juice, and sugar. Want to show off? Use a jigger for precise measuring.
- Close the shaker tightly. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. You want to combine the ingredients well and chill them.
- While you’re shaking, grab a chilled glass. You could opt for a classic coupe or a modern rocks glass—your choice!
- Open your cocktail shaker, use a strainer, and pour the mixture into the prepared glass. Think about the presentation! You can garnish it with a lemon twist for that extra bit of flair.
Notes
- Quality Matters: Invest in a good quality cognac. It makes a difference. You’ll taste it in every sip.
- Fresh Citrus: Use fresh juices instead of bottled. The flavors will be unparalleled!
- Chill Your Glass: A chilled glass keeps your cocktail cold longer. No one likes a lukewarm drink!
- Adjust to Your Taste: Don’t be afraid to experiment. Adjust the sweetness or citrus levels until it's perfect for you.
- Bitters Are Your Friend: If you feel adventurous, add bitters. Start with a dash and increase if the flavor seems too subtle.
