Where did the drink Presbyterian cocktail come from?

The Presbyterian cocktail is believed to have originated in the United States, likely in the late 19th or early 20th century. It combines whiskey (often Bourbon or rye) with Ginger Ale and club soda, creating a refreshing and balanced drink. The name "Presbyterian" is thought to refer to the drink's mix of non-alcoholic mixers, appealing to those who preferred a lighter cocktail. Its exact origins remain somewhat unclear, but it has become a classic in American cocktail culture.
