Sidecar

Origins

Created by bartender Harry MacElhone at Harry’s New York Bar in Paris during the First World War and named after a motorcycle sidecar in which an army captain was chauffeur-driven to and from the bar. The name of this captain remains elusive.

The cocktail glass must be ice cold; a sugar-coated rim is optional.
