This delicious bit of Darwiniana has been sent in by Dr Dean Madden of the National Centre for Biotechnology Education at the University of Reading. He warns that the cocktail contains a significant amount of alcohol and should, therefore, be consumed only by adults and in moderation! In this recipe, one measure = 10 ml. The strong Devon connection is the Plymouth Navy Strength Gin!
