The Luxury Sidecar, a Bemelmans signature, presents a continental take on the classic thanks to three French-made ingredients: Martell Cordon Bleu Cognac, Cointreau and Calvados. The additions of apple brandy and some extra sweetener makes for a richer drink best enjoyed alongside the bar’s iconic piano.
