Sidecars were the first cocktail said to be specifically created, and they were created in the early 1900s at a small Parisian bar called Harry’s New York Bar. As you can deduce from their name, these cocktails are traditionally made with cognac, lemon juice, and Cointreau. However, many variations of this tipple exist, so feel free to experiment with your favorite spirits. I have written my version of the sidecar cocktail recipe for you guys to try it.
