This cocktail first appeared in Harry MacElhone's 1922 book, ABC of Mixing Cocktails. In the book he says the drink was invented by Sparrow Robertson, the Sporting editor of the [[New York Herald]], in Paris. The drink possibly fell out of MacElhone's repertoire by 1927, when he published his next book, Barflies and Cocktails. In this book he swapped the Rye for [[Bourbon whiskey]], and renamed the drink the "[[Boulevardier (cocktail)|Boulevardier]]".<ref>{{cite web |url=hhttp://tmagazine.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/02/02/case-study-the-boulevardier/ |title=Case Study, The Boulevardier |publisher=T Magazine, New York Times |date= |accessdate=2015-11-6 Novemember 2015}}</ref> Although possibly being abandoned by MacElhone, the recipe was published again in [[Harry Craddock]]'s 1930 cocktail book, [[Savoy Hotel#The Savoy Cocktail Book|The Savoy Cocktail Book]].
