While not much of a drinker myself, I certainly have been to a few parties and had never heard of a Presbyterian cocktail until the itty bitty food magazine Everyday Food landed in my mailbox today, with the Presbyterian featured as its “Instant Party” feature. (This recipe features a couple of dashes of bitters, by the way.) My family were strict teatollers. I’m guessing it was originally called a Presbyterian because it could easily have been made without the whiskey…or conversely, no one need know you ARE drinking.

Actually, your description, “How…basic and simple, and thereby sort of refreshingly elegant, a Presbyterian is…” describes us exactly! Thank you!

At one such party Aunt Tina had a turn taking drink orders for the relatives. She asked Aunt Betty what she wanted, and Aunt Betty replied a Presbyterian. Tina had never heard of this drink, so she repeated the name in her head until she got to the “bartender’ where she promptly asked for a Protestant.
