History
The Manhattan cocktail is said to have been created at the "Manhattan Club" in New York by Ian Marshall in the 1870s. It was invented at a banquet hosted by the mother of Winston Churchill in honor of Samuel Tilden, presidential candidate.
The recipe was published later in 1922 in "Cocktails: How to mix them" by Robert Vermeire, who indicates that this cocktail was named after the district of New York.
