Whence the Emerson?

Since stumbling across it in Mark Kingwell's "Classic Cocktails" [a volume which makes up in warmth what it perhaps lacks in titling originality] I've been regularly enjoying something called 'the Emerson': As I put it together, 8 Gin, four red Vermouth, 2 lime juice, 1 Maraschino.

That name, those ingredients [in variant proportions] appear dotted across the web, but never, as far as I can find, a hint as to the original source. No history.

Merely enjoying the drink is no longer enough; I've been spoiled by Mr Wondrich's "Imbibe", and the flow of information on posts here. Can anyone tell me anything about the origins of this mix?

cheers

Derek
