Frederic Yarm created the Hey Heywood! at Loyal Nine in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 2016, inspired by the Hoop La in the Savoy Cocktail Book. St. George Spiced Pear Liqueur stands in for the original's brandy, with a gin adding an herbal note, and a regular guest who tried the 3:1:1:1 ratio preferred equal parts. The name pairs the original drink's nickname with Heywood Broun of the Algonquin Round Table, and the drink pays homage to fellow member Frank Sullivan.
