COCKTAIL — Aviation Cocktail Recipe

Ah, the Classic Sidecar, a drink with a history as rich as the city itself. Here’s how you make it:

Ingredients:

• 2 oz Cognac
• 1 oz Cointreau
• 1 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice
• Ice
• Sugar for rimming the glass
• Lemon twist for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the glass: Moisten the rim of a coupe glass with a lemon wedge, then dip the rim into sugar to coat it.
2. Shake the cocktail: Fill a shaker with ice. Add the Cognac, Cointreau, and freshly squeezed lemon juice to the shaker.
3. Shake well: Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill the drink and combine the flavors.
4. Strain into the glass: Using a cocktail strainer, pour the mixture from the shaker into the prepared coupe glass.
5. Garnish: Twist a piece of lemon peel over the drink to release the oils, then drop it into the glass as a garnish.
6. Serve and enjoy: The Classic Sidecar is best enjoyed when served immediately, so make sure to serve it promptly.

Now, about the city’s mysteries… Some say that the key to unlocking the city’s secrets lies in the old symbols hidden in plain sight. Keep your eyes open, for the answers may be closer than you think. And remember, not everything is as it seems; sometimes, the truth is veiled in darkness.
