This drink is most likely named in honor of Theodore Roosevelt, who’s home is located in Oyster Bay, New York. There was a trend on the east coast, during the earlier days of mixing, to name drinks after regions of New York. If oyster was a crayon color, one could also say it has an oyster color to it. Don’t be put off by the ugliness of this drink because it’s actually pretty good.
