| Origin: | In his 1948 ‘Fine Art of Mixing Drinks’, David A. Embury writes of the Sidecar: “It was invented by a friend of mine at a bar in Paris during World War I and was named after the motorcycle sidecar in which the good captain customarily was driven to and from the little bistro where the drink was born and christened.”
