Tips
- Chill the cognac, triple sec, lemon juice, and water before mixing to help the batch freeze more evenly.
- Stir the mixture well before adding it to the machine so the syrup is fully dispersed.
- For the cleanest Sidecar flavor, use fresh-tasting lemon juice and serve as soon as the texture is icy and pourable.
- If holding the batch for guests, give the machine time to re-thicken between pours.
