David A. Embury, in his book "The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks":en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fine_Art_of_Mixing_Drinks explains, "It was invented by a friend of mine at a bar in Paris during World War I and was named after a motorcycle sidecar in which the good captain customarily was driven to and from the little bistro where the drink was born and christened." The Sidecar is essentially a Daiquiri made with brandy and lemon in place of rum and lime.
