About the Mickey Slim

The Mickey Slim is a short drink cocktail with gin as its base. This controversial beverage was allegedly consumed in the 1940s or 1950s, with its ingredients claimed to produce effects similar to absinthe, though these claims are disputed.

History

The Mickey Slim was reportedly consumed in the United States during the 1940s or 1950s. However, the earliest known reference is from a 1992 BBC documentary series, leading some to question if it's an urban legend rather than a historical reality.
