It was one of Maynard Sinclair s favorite shirts, a yellow tee with a tongue-in-cheek recipe for a specialty cocktail hand-crafted, not-so-lovingly, at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, for more than 30 years.
A little bit of dry cleaning solvent, some engine degreaser, a hefty dash of benzene and a bit of vinyl chloride, and you ve got Cocktail #26, The Camp Lejeune, served to Marines and family members in their drinking water from 1953 to 1987.
