The Cocktail
The Sidecar is arguably the most celebrated cognac cocktail in the World. Made with three ingredients of Cognac, Cointreau® and lemon juice, this simple recipe is a favorite for entertaining a crowd and has become synonymous with celebration. The addition of Rémy Martin 1738 elevates this classic cocktail with a complex, divine taste driven from its dynamic flavors and smooth finish. Combined with the Cointreau and bursts of citrus notes, the result is refreshing with layers of flavor that harmonize and are poured in a coupette glass for your drinking pleasure.
The Food
Moments of celebration are often paired with food and drink that complement one another. The versatility of Rémy Martin 1738 offers a unique range of flavor profiles to complement a variety of foods easily. It is the perfect cognac to have on hand for this very reason. If entertaining at home, offer a Sidecar welcome cocktail paired with small bites like spiced nuts or cheeses to accompany the spicy, toasty notes of 1738. Or end the night with a Sidecar toast to put the finishing touch on a lovely evening surrounded by the best of friends and family.
The Celebration
Rémy Martin® has always been at the center of moments that celebrate collective success. Honoring those who are wholeheartedly dedicated to their craft and team up with others in a pursuit for excellence is reflected in Rémy Martin’s own history and in the talents who make their premium Cognac.
