The most agreed upon history of the cocktail credits The Pendennis Club in Louisville, Kentucky for creating the cocktail. James E. Pepper was the bartender who is said to have invented the drink in Kentucky in the 1880's. He then later brought the cocktail to the bar at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City. The cocktail then gained popularity and is now drank the world over!
