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.

Why do they call the cocktail a presbyterian?

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.
