Transport yourself to the dazzling era of post-World War 1 Europe, where the illustrious Sidecar cocktail emerged as a testament to timeless elegance and taste. Born amidst the Trans-English Channel rivalry, this libation's origins remain a delightful mystery, with both the Ritz Carlton in Paris and The Bucks Club in London vying for the honour of its invention. However, one fascinating tale links it to the legendary sidecar that ferried an American Army General to and from the iconic Harry's Bar in Paris.

The traditional recipe for the Sidecar calls for equal parts Brandy, Cointreau, and lemon juice. At Trolley'd, we embrace the spirit of innovation, adding a touch more Brandy to our rendition, ensuring our drinks impart a delightful boldness and depth. We believe in cocktails that give a little back, leaving an indelible mark on every sip.

So, here's Trolley'd's coveted Sidecar recipe, accompanied by a captivating image of this classic cocktail in action at the esteemed Chow Bar & Eating House in Sydney:
