The Aviation. This is now my favorite. Gin, maraschino cherry liquer, lemon juice (sometimes lime) and... creme de violette. The color of the drink is of the sky.
- shot of gin (I like it with lots of botanicals, but that's me)
- tsp of the creme de violette
- half ounce (third of a shot) of the maraschino
- half a shot of lemon juice
Or, make 3 at once
- 3 shots of gin
- half shot of the creme de violette
- shot of the maraschino liquer
- shot and a half of lemon juice
Pour over ice in a shaker, shake, strain over chilled cocktail glass, garnish with a cherry or twist of lemon peel. Mmmmm.
