Aviation - THE classic (up) warm weather cocktail.
3 ounces gin
1/2 ounce (or less for drier) Maraschino liqueur (this is NOT cherry brandy etc. get Luxardo maraschino (can be difficult to find but Liquor Barn sometimes has it)
juice of half a lemon
teaspoon of creme de violette
Shake in a cocktail shaker and strain into a cocktail glass. Drop a maraschino cherry in it and thank me later.
