Were both drinks, the Smoking Bishop and the Mickey Slim, popular in different countries?
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.
Rum Swizzle A Rum Swizzle is a rum-based cocktail often called "Bermuda's national drink". "The Royal Gazette" has referred to it as "the legendary Sam swizzle...perfect for sharing and irresistible to locals and tourists alike" In addition to providing the "swizzle" portion of the 1933 swizzle stick product name, it has been said that this potent cocktail is "as much a part of Bermuda Island culture and cuisine as is the Bermuda onion, the vibrant hibiscus, or the graceful Bermuda Longtail."
