The Sidecar is a classic cocktail that originated in the 1920s and was named after the sidecar of a motorcycle. The exact origin of the drink is unclear, but it is often associated with the Ritz Hotel in Paris, where it was very popular in the 1930s. The Sidecar consists of Cognac, Triple Sec Curaçao, and lemon juice, which are shaken with ice and then strained into a chilled glass. The drink boasts a golden color and a slightly sour taste with hints of orange and Cognac. The Sidecar was a popular cocktail in the 1920s and 1930s and was enjoyed by many celebrities, including Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald. The cocktail also appears in various films and TV shows, including "Casablanca" and "Mad Men". Although the Sidecar is not as widespread today as in its heyday, it remains a classic of cocktail culture and is still appreciated and frequently prepared by many bartenders.
