Can't see this is in the Old Waldorf Astoria bar book.

The name "Tipperary Cocktail" is from Old Waldorf Astoria, but the proper credit for this particular version is Gaz Regan, who wrote the SF Gate article that is the referenced. From that article:

The earliest recipe I can find is in "The Old Waldorf-Astoria Bar Book," where author Albert Stevens Crockett declares that the drink predates the popular World War I song, "It's a Long Way to Tipperary." That particular ditty was penned in 1912, so we can probably surmise that the drink was created in the first decade of the 20th century. The formula, though, is pretty vile. I doubt that even a Yorkshire dweller - let alone a sturdy man from Tipperary - would put himself behind a glass full of sloe gin and dry vermouth with a little lemon juice.
