I was looking for a classy premium rum cocktail last night. It finally hit me that a sidecar was a really nice cognac cocktail that could be reworked with some rum and be right for what I was looking for.
The Sidecar is a cocktail that has its origins to an American Army captain in Paris during World War I and named after the motorcycle sidecar that the captain rode. Original recipe called for equal parts of Cognac, Cointreau and Lemon Juice, today this is known as "French School".

- 1 ½ Oz. Pierre Ferrand Dry Curacao
