  • 1 oz Rye Whiskey
  • 0.75 oz Cointreau

Story

Lancey's Sidecar — rye joins the cognac for spice and structure. The half-sugar rim lets the guest taste both.

Service note

Coupe, no ice. Half-sugar means HALF of the rim only — never full. Tell guests they can drink either side.

Tasting notes

Citrus-bright, warmly spiced from the rye, sweetness modulated by the sugar half-rim choice.
