Frederic Yarm of Boston created the 8th Arrondissement in 2019, after discussions at Thirst Boston about the Ward 8 and Robert Vermeire's 1922 version, which paired American whiskey with orange juice. Looking for a better partner than whiskey, Yarm turned to Cognac and replaced the orange juice with Amer Picon, drawing on Trader Vic's recipes and Paul McGee's use of curaçao in place of orange juice. The name refers to the 8th arrondissement of Paris, home to the Champs-Élysées.
