This dates back much earlier than Trader Vic: it is included in both MacElhone books (ABC of Mixing Cocktails and Barflies & Cocktails), Savoy Cocktail Book, and Boothby’s 1934 edition of World Drinks and How to Mix Them.

Thanks, James. The earliest reference I can find is in 1923 Harry of Ciro’s ABC of Mixing Cocktails.
