The Drink Boston site had a great article on the creation of the drink and how Brother Cleve was not well enough to attend so folks brought his photo around so he could be there in spirit: https://drinkboston.com/2008/09/09/from-the-ward-eight-to-the-ninth-ward/
RIP Brother Cleve! I remember my phone lighting up the night folks found out that he passed. We met Cleve at the Haus Alpenz industry tasting circa 2007-8 when they gave us a first taste of their R&W Violette, and he's shared so much over the years (including all the great places to shop for vintage glassware that now resides on our shelves).

Glad to find this here. It was reputedly created by Donnie Clutterbuck at Cure in Rochester NY, and I've been dying to try it
Yes. It was first published in the Food & Wine: Cocktails 2016 book that never was released. I got a copy of it on eBay since it never hit Amazon or other store and then put the drink recipe out there on my blog.
This drink appears in the book Left Coast Libations which puts it at 2010 or before.
