Sparkling Sidecar

4 drinks

My husband and I recently threw a Prohibition-themed party where we made vintage cocktails. The Sidecar was my absolute favorite!  We decided to turn the tasty cocktail into a light drink. Here is what we came up with.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cognac
  • ½ cup triple sec
  • ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 cup champagne, chilled
  • Maraschino cherries, for garnish

Directions

Pour cognac, triple sec, and lemon juice in a martini shaker filled with ice.  Shake for 30 seconds.

Pour champagne into the pitcher.  Then add the cognac mixture.  Stir until just combined.  Garnish glasses with maraschino cherries.
