Manhattan
The origin of the Manhattan cocktail is a bit of a mystery. The most popular story says it was created in the 1870s at the Manhattan Club in New York. Some believe Dr. Iain Marshall made it for a banquet hosted by Lady Randolph Churchill, while others claim a bartender named "Black" on Broadway was behind it.
