Best Answer

I do not think there is any known definitive answer . My guess is that the Presbyterian was a drink for people who were supposedly abstainers as Presbyterians traditionally were. It is Ginger Ale and soda water with a little whiskey slipped in. It might pass for an non-alcoholic drink to a casual observer.

It might also be considered a sissy drink by some one who drinks straight whiskey.

So, the name might have used to suggest that its drinkers might as well be Presbyterians, i.e. be abstainers.
