The exact origin of the sidecar is unclear, but it is thought to have been invented around the end of World War I in either London or Paris.

Another attributes its invention to the comedian George Jessel, who frequented the 21 Club. In 1939, Lucius Beebe printed in his gossip column ""This New York"" one of the earliest U.S. references to this drink, along with the original recipe: ""George Jessel's newest pick-me-up which is receiving attention from the town's paragraphers is called a Bloody Mary: half tomato juice, half vodka"".
