MILLION DOLLAR COCKTAIL

Now here's a literate cocktail.
The Million Dollar Cocktail was created by Hainanese -Chinese bartender Ngiam Tong Boon, who tended bar at Raffles Hotel in Singapore, around the turn-of-the-century.
This cocktail was popular at Raffles Hotel's Bar and Billiard Room.
The Million Dollar Cocktail was featured in Somerset Maugham's most famous barside short story: "The Letter." Needless to say, this cocktail gained considerable sales (and notoriety) for Raffles Hotel.
Here's the recipe, as served at Raffles Hotel:

30ml Gin
7.5ml Sweet vermouth
7.5ml Dry Vermouth
120ml Pineapple Juice
a Dash of Egg White
A dash of Angostora Bitters

Enjoy sipping this cocktail beside the fireplace in your library, with your smoking jacket on while reading some Somerset Maugham.
