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 lighter version Boulevardier, which was also invented by the MacElhone.
