History of the '''Old Pal''': [[Harry MacElhone]], the proprietor of Harry’s New York Bar in Paris, France. is recognized as the first to publish the <ref>{{Cite news|url=http://iowalegendaryrye.com/belegendary/blog/old-pal|title=Old Pal|date=2020-08-11|website=Iowa Legendary Rye|language=en-US|access-date=2020-08-11}}</ref> Cocktail Recipe. The Old Pal is often overshadowed by its more common brother, the Boulevardier, this simplistic cocktail of the simple ingredients [[Rye Whiskey]], French [[Vermouth]] (dry), and [[Campari]].
 
Born in Ireland, then tending bar in New York, Harry returned to Europe when [[World War II]] broke out.
 
In 1922, he started working at the New York Bar in Paris, and within a year he had taken over and changed the name to Harry’s New York Bar. Harry named this cocktail after William “Sparrow” Robinson, a sports-editor for “The New York Herald” in Paris. This three-ingredient cocktail is essentially a lighter version [[Boulevardier]], which makes sense considering the two mixed drinks were invented by the same person.
