The Sidecar was created as a remedy for a cold for a WWI U.S. Army Captain. A bartender named it after the chauffeured motorcycle sidecar the captain rode around in. The cocktail recipe was first published in 1922, it’s attributed to Pat McGarry, a popular London bartender at the time. We dedicate our version to our Tingala founders’ great uncle Army Corporal Jake Derfus (shown below) who proudly served in WWI in the 371st Motor Transport Corps (M.T.C.) in France.
