Hi Guys/ Gals,

Basically my question is "What is the recipe that Trader Vic would have been using in 1939 for his 'Raffles Bar Sling'?".

Here is the text of the Advert I found it in:

"Oakland Tribune" 15th February 1939.

Famous for "Selective" Drinks.

"Vic" Bergeron Offers The Pleasure Loving People of Oakland and Exposition Visitors Authentic Drinks Gathered From The Far Corners OF The World.

Mojito from Habana.
Rum Cow from Porto Rico.
Barbados Red Rum Swizzle.
Raffles Bar Sling from Singapore.
Champagne Apricot From France.
Cuban Presidente, From Habana.
Maui Fizz, From Honolulu.
Gin and Schweppes Tonic, From North Africa.
Pisco Punch, From Peru.

TRADER VIC
YOUR HOST
World Famous Drinks.
6500 San Pablo Ave. Oakland.

And in answering my query (what is the Raffles Bar Sling recipe?) can anyone cast light onto the "Exposition" that people were "Visitors" of?

Cheers!

George
