Cocktail revivalists have long lamented the tendency of the venerable Monkey Gland to resist palatability. To the modern palate, the standard Monkey Gland recipe—gin, some dashed absinthe and raspberry syrup, and a heaping helping of orange juice, justly called by Dan Chadwick the "fruit of cocktail death"—registers as an unbalanced, overly sweet mishmash of discordant flavors, lacking structure or shame. But with a bit of modern tinkering—adding some acid here, dashing complementary bitters there, replacing orange juice with orange liqueur—we arrive at something with the zippy acidity and bright citrus flavors of a... well, we arrive at a Pegu Club, with some berry juice and an absinthe rinse. Which, come to think of it, is a pretty good thing. Enjoy.
Muddle 5-10 blueberries in agave syrup. Combine ingredients in shaker and shake and strain on ice in a tumbler. Garnish with mint sprig.
The original recommends a dry shake of ingredients and straining it in glass filled with pebble ice.
The Bluebeard cocktail is based on the Blackbeard (in PDT cocktail book) made with blackberries in the place of blueberries and lime in place of lemon juice. The original was created by Daniel Eun.

Moderated this slightly - added blueberries to the recipe from the notes.
Thanks!
In an 8 ounce highball glass build over ice and stir until chilled.
Two members of the Singapore Cricket Club made their own gin sling upon the refusal of the Club to do so (per a piece in the Singapore Weekly Sun in 1913 which included the recipe.)
This was nice with San Pellegrino as the cold water.
I like this but it needs a catchier name. Maybe something cricket based. There's already a Leg Before Wicket, what about the Spin Bowler?
100+ years later, I fear we are likely stuck with the name.
Curated to remove dead link, and to provide a link to the recipe source information in a 2011 Wondrich Imbibe article--most likely what the shortened link was pointing to. The irony is that the cricket club refused to serve a drink that now bears their name. I did some light editing to the creator(s) and history, and changed this to an "authentic" recipe since we have an historical source with the recipe.
Blend. Pour into a hurricane glass and garnish with freshly grated nutmeg.
Consider eliminating, or at least halving, the milk for a thicker and more glorious texture.
Shake, strain, up.
Vodka infusion: 1 gram each of whole cardamom and dried mace flowers per 2 oz vodka. Quick-infuse in an iSi or other cream whipper: charge with N2O, shake for 30 seconds, let rest for 30 seconds, release gas & strain.
Recently purchased both a cream whipper and dried mace flowers. This is the result.
Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with lemon peel.
Stir, strain, coupe, garnish with a cherry and an orange twist.
Was recommended to me with "Definitely good for slow sipping while one types unwanted messages to virtual strangers on the internet."
Shake, strain, up, garnish with a lime wheel.
Was sure it was going to be too sweet, but was actually really good!
