"This sour is the perfect balance of Cognac, Cointreau and lemon."
The most common story about the invention of the Sidecar cocktail is that it was created around 1918, named after an American army captain stationed in Paris in World War I. Apparently he rode around in a motorcycle sidecar, hence the name.
Served best in a coupe or martini glass.
