About this drink

Equal parts vodka, triple sec and lime: the sour formula behind the Margarita and the Sidecar, rebuilt on vodka. Accounts of its origin differ — the story told most often places it at a bar on an American naval base in post-war Japan, while the printed record points to the United States in the early 1970s. By the 1980s it was a bar staple.
