The Sidecar Martini

Sidecar Martini

The ingredients we had available for this Martini were:
French Cognac from France (Thanks to Mom & Dad for that awesome souvenir)
Cointreau
Lemonade
Cherry Garnish

Unfortunately we forgot to take a picture of our Sidecars but it did look very similar to this Martini, only with a much lighter yellow colour.

Mixing Instructions (Yield 2 Martinis)
Fill Martini shaker with ice
Add equal parts Cognac, Cointreau and Lemonade
Shake vigorously until very cold
Pour into glasses
Drop a maraschino cherry into each Martini
Voila!

He Says: Fantastic Martini!  If I could afford to buy Cognac all the time it would be tied for second place with The Hpnotiq Martini to my favourite, the Classic Vodka Martini.

She Says: I found it very bitter, next time I will rim the glass with white sugar to sweeten it up.
