History of the sidecar cocktail
The Sidecar cocktail originated in either London or Paris – two of the most popular cocktail reference books give different versions of its origin.
The authoritative mixologist Robert Vermier, in his book “Cocktails and How to Mix Them,” published back in 1922, states that “Sidecar is very popular in France.
It was first introduced in London by popular Bucks bartender McGarry.
Another well-known mixologist, Harry McElhone, in his All Cocktails reference book, citing Sidecar’s recipe, mentions that this is the recipe of McGarry, a popular bartender at the Blacks club in London.
Much later, already in the middle of the XNUMXth century, David Embry published the book The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks, in which he wrote that the Sidecar cocktail was created by his friend in Paris at the end of the First World War.
According to Embry’s book, the recipe did not include three ingredients, as in modern recipes, but six or seven.
Name of the cocktail
Sidecar (Side Car) is translated from English as “motorcycle sidecar”.
Why such a name? All because of the eccentric military man, who always came to the bar on a motorcycle with a sidecar.
The bartenders of the establishment, having heard the sound of a motorcycle, said to each other: “Again, a motorcycle with a sidecar has arrived.” So this nickname of a person stuck to a cocktail.
