From the Bartender

Eponymously named after the Pendennis Club in Louisville, Kentucky, this cocktail's first known reference was in William "Cocktail Bill" Boothby's 1908 book. The modern recipe is closer to Charles H. Baker Jr.'s 1939 version, which introduced lime and bitters, diverging from Boothby's simpler gin, apricot brandy, and dry vermouth combination.
