Parsons, Brad Thomas. Bitters: A Spirited History of a Classic Cure-All, with Cocktails, Recipes, and Formulas. Photographs by Ed Anderson. Berkeley: Ten Speed Press, 2011. Supplied ebook-derived PDF, version 3.1, 443 pages. eISBN 9781607740728.
Parsons cites the 13 May 1806 Balance cocktail definition and reports Wondrich's interpretation of earlier English drink and bitters references. The later Peychaud coquetier origin narrative cannot by itself explain a term already documented earlier. The book repeats Angostura family and label traditions, and supplies dates for Hostetter, Abbott and Sazerac-related ownership.
