The sidecar is traditionally made with cognac, orange liqueur (like Cointreau or Grand Marnier) and lemon juice. The true origin is disputed, but it’s alleged that a bartender named Frank Meier first made it for wealthy American clients at the Hotel Ritz in Paris circa 1922. And yes, it’s supposedly named after the motorcycle attachment.
