Story: The Creeping Man

Rating: Gen

A.N.: According to Wikipedia, the Monkey Gland was created in the 1920s by Harry MacElhone, owner of Harry's New York Bar in Paris. It is named after the surgical technique of grafting monkey testicle tissue into humans made famous by Doctor Serge Voronoff.

The Monkey Gland

2 drops of grenadine

1 3/4 ounces of gin

2 drops of absinthe

1 ounce of orange juice

Combine in a shaker with ice cubes. Shake well. Strain into a chilled glass. Enjoy with your faithful Boswell at the ‘Chequers’ before catching the early train to town. Best accompanied by talk of above-reproach linen and little-farm dreams.

Perhaps the monkey has other consolations. It's just rather rare to see testicles here in ACD world.

I feel the sudden urge to come up with the riposte: "Have you tried looking on AO3?" :P

My bad. I meant this particular little slice of ACD world (as in this com), so that was not clear.

But now I'm left in a bit of a pickle: Do I let everyone assume that I search for testicles (or fail to see them) in Ao3?
