The Studebaker appears in Los Secretos del Cocktail, a guide by the Spanish bartender Pedro Talavera from around 1940, in a chapter of sports cocktails named after car makers and ocean liners of the day. Its ingredients have no clear link to the car brand, and the drink did not catch on in Spain or abroad. The book is the only known source for the recipe.
