History of a Sidecar <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Sidecar cocktail is a prohibition era cocktail. It became famous in the golden age of cocktails in the early 1900s. In 1922 Harry MacElhone, owner of Harry’s Bar New York Bar in Paris, credits the original Sidecar recipe to Pat MacGarry in this book Harry’s ABC of Mixing Cocktails<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are two popular stories of how the Sidecar cocktail got its name. The first is that it was first served to a guest who arrived riding in the sidecar of a motorcycle. The second is that the drink was served with the extra in a shot glass on the side. When a cocktail is served with a shot of the same to the side that smaller drink is called “the sidecar”. The Sidecar became one of the more popular drinks to order at fashionable bars in Paris and London during the 1920s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
