Gunga Din
Ingredients:
Ahhh, the Gunga Din. This is a good example of another cocktail for which the "real" recipe is hard to pin down. Your recipe is from a Mens Journal article, and it's on my "to be tested" list. Also to be tested, I have come up with the following as an "average" of a bunch of recipes I looked up and found online:
1-1/2 oz gin
1/2 oz dry vermouth
3/4 oz orange juice (may increase to 1 oz depending on result)
3/4 oz pineapple juice (may increase to 1 oz depending on result)
Shake with ice, strain and pour, garnish with pineapple slice.
The gin/vermouth combination makes this drink often referred to as a martini. It seems there's lots of wiggle room with this drink... I have not consulted some of my old recipe books to see what they say, but I will do so in the near future.
Nice! A friend sent me the recipe, I'm going to try the one you listed!!
