[[Harry MacElhone]], the proprietor of Harry's New York Bar in Paris, France, is recognized as the first to publish the cocktail's recipe. MacElhone named this cocktail after William "Sparrow" Robinson, a sports- editor for ''[[The New York Herald]]'' in Paris. This three-ingredient cocktail is essentially a lighterdrier version [[Boulevardier (cocktail)|Boulevardier]], which was also invented by the MacElhone.{{cn|date=August 2020}}
