About

The Mamie Taylor is a classic and refreshing cocktail that traces its origins back to the late 19th century, more precisely the 1890s. This cocktail, with its simple yet elegant mix, combines Scotch whisky, ginger ale and lemon juice, creating a sparkling yet slightly tart drink, perfect for a sunny afternoon.

The Mamie Taylor’s story begins in New York City, where it is said to have first appeared in bars around the city. As is often the case with cocktail history, the exact origins are unclear, but it is widely believed that it was named after a real person, a woman named Mamie Taylor. According to one version of the story, Mamie Taylor was a popular figure of the time, who was said to have been a young woman of high class and well-respected, possibly connected to a public event or notable personality in the early 20th century. The cocktail is said to have been created in his honor, although again there is no certainty as to the exact origin of its name.
