About
The history of the Sidecar is shrouded in mystery, and several theories exist as to its origin. The most common version says that this cocktail was invented in Paris, in the early 1920s, in the famous Harry’s New York Bar. It is said to have been created for an American officer who often traveled in a sidecar, hence its name.
