Sidecar
An under-appreciated classic, the Sidecar is named for the motorcycle accessory. Most likely created in London in the 1910s, it is closely related to the Crusta, which dates to the 1850s, as well as the Margarita, which came into being a few decades later. This is an edited extract from Spirited by Adrienne Stillman (RRP $69.96). Photography by Andy Sewell.
