Wow, I never thought of these drinks as sidecar variations because of the differences - the sidecar is made with lemon juice and the margarita and mai tai have lime juice and the margarita calls for salt rim while the sidecar calls for sugar rim, etc. However, I guess these drinks are related because they all qualify as "sours". Per Wikipedia (yeah, I know): "Sours are mixed drinks containing a base liquor, lemon or lime juice, and a sweetener". Given that, the daiquiri also seems to be caught in the same net. However, I agree with you that variations of drinks should not be disqualified if they each have a significant history of their own.
