1931 Old Waldorf Bar Days by Albert Stevens Crockett

Cocktails

JIMMIELEE For many years, the Paymaster of the old Waldorf was "Jimmie" Lee, a popular young Irishman. Jimmie was so entirely Gaelic in his sympathies that when a couple of kilted celts early in th'e War came to the Waldorf and played their tunes, Jimmie followed those pied pipers back to Erin, got mixed up in the revolution, and narrowly escaped get– ting hung-or shot. He came back after the War was over, a 100% American. Solon thinks the cocktail was named after this Jimmie Lee. He recalls a prominent citizen of Youngstown, Ohio, in connection with the mixture, and his recollection is that that gentleman was an admirer of the Waldorf's Paymaster, and presided at its christening.
