The combination was said to have such a kick that it felt like being shelled with the powerful French 75mm field gun, also called a "75 Cocktail", or "Soixante Quinze" in French. The "French 75" was popularized in America at the Stork Club in New York. The drink's recipe was first recorded in The Savoy Cocktail Book in 1930. The recipe in the Savoy Cocktail Book uses gin and so do we. Bombay Sapphire gin, lemon juice, sugar and Domaine Chandon sparkling.

Dr. Iain Marshall at the Manhattan Club in New York City, invented by for a banquet hosted by Jennie Jerome (Lady Randolph Churchill, Winston's mother) in honor of presidential candidate Samuel J. Tilden. The success of the banquet made the drink fashionable, later prompting several people to request the drink by referring to the name of the club where it originated -"the Manhattan cocktail". However, Lady Randolph was in France around this time and pregnant, so the story is likely a fiction.

During prohibition Canadian whisky was primarily used because it was what was available Canadian Club, gently mixed with sweet vermouth, bitters and a brandied cherry.

Traditionally, the first use of the name "Old Fashioned" for a Bourbon cocktail was said to have been at the Pendennis Club, a gentlemen's club founded in 1881 in Louisville, Kentucky. The recipe was said to have been invented by a bartender at that club in honor of Colonel James E. Pepper, a prominent bourbon distiller, who brought it to the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel bar in New York City. By the 1860s, it was common enough for orange curaçao, absinthe and other liqueurs to be added that, as first mentioned in The Chicago Daily Tribune on July 25, 1880, the original concoction, albeit in different proportions, was being called "old-fashioned" and came back into vogue itself.

The most widely reported account is that it was invented in Florence, Italy in 1919, at Caffè Casoni, now called Caffè Cavalli. Count Camillo Negroni invented it by asking the bartender, Fosco Scarselli, to strengthen his favorite cocktail, the Americano, by adding gin rather than the normal soda water. The bartender also added an orange garnish rather than the typical lemon garnish of the Americano to signify that it was a different drink. After the success of the cocktail, the Negroni Family founded Negroni Distillerie in Treviso, Italy, and produced a ready-made version of the drink, sold as Antico Negroni 1919. One of the earliest reports of the drink came from Orson Welles in correspondence with the Coshocton Tribune while working in Rome on Cagliostro in 1947, where he described a new drink called the Negroni: "The bitters are excellent for your liver, the gin is bad for you.

The creation of the Sazerac has also been credited to Antoine Amadie Peychaud, the Creole apothecary who moved to New Orleans from the West Indies and set up shop in the French Quarter in the early part of the 19th Century. He dispensed a proprietary mix of aromatic bitters from an old family recipe. According to legend he served his drink in the large end of an egg cup that was called a coquetier in French, and that the Americanized pronunciation of this as "cocktail" gave this type of drink its name. However, the word "cocktail" predates this by decades, first appearing in print in 1803. It was defined in 1806 as "a mixture of spirits of any kind, water, sugar and bitters, called a bittered sling." Bulleit Rye, Peychaud's bitters and an absinthe rinse.

"Maita'i" is the Tahitian word for "good". It was purportedly invented at the Trader Vic's restaurant in Oakland, California, in 1944. Victor J. Bergeron or Trader Vic created it one afternoon for some friends who were visiting from Tahiti. One of those friends, Carrie Guild, tasted it and yelled "Maita'i roa ae!" Meaning "very good!" or "The Best!" Trader Vic's rival, Don the Beachcomber, claimed to have created it in 1933 at his then-new bar named for himself in Hollywood.

The exact origin of the Sidecar is unclear, but it is thought to have been invented around the end of World War I in either London or Paris. The Ritz Hotel in Paris claims origin of the drink. The first recipes for the Sidecar appear in 1922, in Harry MacElhone's Harry's ABC of Mixing Cocktails and Robert Vermeire's Cocktails and How to Mix Them. Both books say the recipe is equal parts cognac, Cointreau, and lemon juice, now known as "the French school". Later, an "English school" of Sidecars emerged, as found in the Savoy Cocktail Book (1930), which call for two parts cognac and one part each of Cointreau and lemon juice. The original Sidecar had several more ingredients, which were "refined away". Embury also states the drink is simply a Daiquiri with brandy as its base rather than rum, and with Cointreau as the sweetening agent rather than sugar syrup. The earliest mention of sugaring the rim on a Sidecar glass is 1934. St Remy VSOP brandy, Cointreau, lemon juice and sugar.
