Two Vodka Sidecar cocktails in coupe glasses with sugar rims and lemon wheel garnishes

The Vodka Sidecar is a zesty twist on the traditional Sidecar cocktail and uses vodka instead of brandy or Cognac. Grand Marnier orange liqueur, fresh lemon juice, and a sugared rim join the party to create a refreshing and zingy cocktail that’s perfect for warmer evenings. A great cocktail for sweet and sour fans.
