Tony C was recently featured in Olive Magazine briefly talking about the origins of The Sidecar. Bartenders across England and France lay claim to having been the originator of The Sidecar. It's true origin is likely lost and so the debate will no doubt continue.
There are two schools of thinking, when it comes to Sidecar ratios, the french and the english. This is the English version, as appose to the French which calls for equal parts of all ingredients. This recipe was first mentioned in 1930 within The Savoy Cocktail Book.

Shake vigorously with cubed ice
