Sidecar is a classic cocktail with its roots in the 1920s, during the era of Prohibition in the United States. Its exact origin is a topic of debate, though it is said to have been created in Paris or London, inspired by the frequent use of motorcycle sidecars, which were vehicles with a side compartment for a passenger. The cocktail quickly became popular for its balance of sweetness, acidity, and the characteristic flavor of brandy.
In different Latin American countries, the Sidecar may be known by the same name due to its international fame, although some bars adapt it or give it a local touch in its preparation. It is a cocktail that has transcended borders and is enjoyed at both social gatherings and formal events.
