From the history of the Saidkar cocktail
Where exactly the drink was created is still unknown, but it is clear that this happened either in Paris or in London. As a rule, most people tend to believe that in the first place, namely, in the Ritz Hotel. He was invented by a bartender who wanted to surprise with something experienced officer who participated in the Second World War. A man constantly rode a motorcycle with a stroller, which is why the name of the cocktail “Saidkar” appeared.
There is a reverse point of view. A certain bartender in London, Pat McGarry, worked at the Bucks Club, where he came up with his own drink. And the name was given to such a cocktail, because the special container where the remaining ingredients were poured was called Sidecar.
In any case, no one is 100% sure of at least one hypothesis. One thing is known for sure - this is the year the drink appeared. He appeared in 1922, and this was recorded in a special book by bartenders in both London and Paris.
