Legend has it that this classy cocktail was invented in the mid-1870s at a banquet hosted in honor of Samuel J. Tilden, a then presidential candidate, at the Manhattan Club in New York City. The banquet was a huge success. In future get togethers, people requested the same drink they had at the Manhattan Club, which is how it got the name.
