Before whiskey took over American bars, the cocktail ran on brandy — the Sidecar and the Brandy Crusta are survivors of that era. Grape-based Cognac drinks round and fruity; pisco brings floral brightness to sours.
You don't need XO for mixing. A solid VS or VSOP Cognac (or a good pisco for sours) does everything a cocktail asks of brandy.
