Wondrich, David. Imbibe!: From Absinthe Cocktail to Whiskey Smash, a Salute in Stories and Drinks to “Professor” Jerry Thomas, Pioneer of the American Bar. New York: Perigee, 2007.
Wondrich rejects the Sazerac-first-cocktail story and reproduces a whiskey formula from an explicitly undated supplement to Boothby's 1908 volume. Do not date the supplement or formula to 1908 on that basis.

Chapter 7 — Sazerac Cocktail
Fresh audit 2026-10-01 against PDF 256–259, especially 257. Corrected prior conflation of the dated parent volume with its undated supplement. Formula's generic whiskey differs from the author's rye preference on 258; first-print priority remains attributed to Wondrich.
