History of the Gibson Cocktail

"There have been many theories about the name “Gibson.” The 1904 date rules out other Gibsons and tends to favor illustrator Charles Dana Gibson, famous for his ‘Gibson Girl” illustrations.

It is often claimed that the “Gibson cocktail” was invented at the Players’ Club in the 1930s or at the Old Waldorf Bar (the usual suspect). Gibson illustrated for many national magazines based in New York; any bar could have come up with this cocktail name."

"Pearlie is an authority on Egyptian cigarettes and knows exactly how much vermouth to mix in her Gibson cocktail — in fact she is a thoroughly modish and accomplished woman of fifteen summers and several hard falls, but thus far she has been overlooked by the great family journals and there has been no printer’s ink illumination with Pearlie’s toe flickering in the air like a pinwheel."
