In David A. Embury’s 1948 Fine Art of Mixing Drinks, he mentions the Sidecars origin: “It was invented by a friend of mine at a bar in Paris during World War 1 and was named after the motorcycle sidecar in which the captain customarily was driven to and from the little bistro where the drink was born”. It’s assumed that the bar was Harry’s New York Bar.
We believe it appears to have Parisian origins and to have been popularised by Pat MacGarry at London’s Bucks Club in early 1900’s.
