Doug--
Thanks for heads-up on those tips. They're great. The Travis
McGee books are certainly full of practical, interesting
advice. I appreciate them all the more, now that I'm doing
this story.
Diane--
Thank you for the gimlet tip. I found the full reference in
chapter 3 of THE LONG GOODBYE:
"We sat in a corner of the bar at Victor's and drank gimlets.
'They don't know how to make them here, [Terry] said. 'What
they call a gimlet is just some lime or lemon juice and gin
with a dash of sugar and bitters. A real gimlet is half gin
and half Rose's Lime Juice and nothing else. It beats
martinis hollow."
Makes me kind of thirsty for one...
Best,
Duane Swierczynski
