The sidecar is any cocktail traditionally made with cognac, orange liqueur (cointreau, grand marnier, dry curacao, or a triple sec), plus lemon juice.

In its ingredients, the drink is perhaps most closely related to the older brandy crusta, which differs both in presentation and in proportions of its components.
