More robust and pungent than Cognac, Armagnac makes this a brawnier version of the traditionally smooth Sidecar...

  1. 1 lemon wedge
  2. Granulated sugar
  3. Ice
  4. 1 1/2 ounces Armagnac
  5. 1/2 ounce Cointreau or other triple sec
  6. 1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice
  7. 1/4 ounce Simple Syrup
  8. 1 lemon wheel
  1. Moisten the outer rim of a martini glass with the lemon wedge; coat lightly with sugar. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice; add all of the remaining ingredients except the lemon wheel. Shake well. Strain into the glass; garnish with the lemon wheel.
