Which drink contained dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, Orange Tundra or Mickey Slim?
Mickey Slim The Mickey Slim was a drink that had short-lived popularity in the United States in the 1940s and 1950s. According to "The Dedalus Book of Absinthe" by Phil Baker, it was made by combining gin with a pinch of DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane), an insecticide that would later be banned in most countries; consumers of this concoction claimed that its effects were similar to absinthe.
