Remarks:

David Embury in "The Fine Art

of Mixing Drinks" (1948), says

the Sidecar was developed in a

Parisian bistro during the first

world war by a gentleman who

was driven there in the sidecar

of a motorcycle. Which bar is a

matter of speculation, but it is

popularly thought to have been

Harry's New York Bar.
