Wonder Woman doesn’t indulge!
Still, I had to look up the Blue Moon cocktail of the 1940s:
- 2 oz. dry gin
- 1/2 oz. fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 oz. Crème Yvette or crème de violette (a liqueur made from violet petals and berries)
- Lemon twist for garnish
Shake over ice and strain into a martini glass.
Milo cigarettes were a real brand that was specifically marketed to women (“For the woman of discernment…”) in the early 20th century. I don’t know if this is a form of product placement — a common form of advertising even in the ’40s — but, knowing William Moulton Marston, it’s more likely a criticism of bad habits.
