The Drink With No Name and Aviation Cocktails

It's Friday again - the grass is cut and all is well with the world.

We left the Bartenders Guide tonight and branched out.  The first cocktail was a 'Drink With No Name', a vodka based drink. It was quite good with a nice aftertaste.

The recipe:

2 Oz. Vodka (My Russian "Standard")
1/4 Oz. Cointreau
1/8 Oz. Chartreuse (Green)

Stir with ice and strain into cocktail glass. Garnish with an orange twist.

After that I fixed  an 'Aviation' cocktail. It was pretty tart (all the lemon juice) but I enjoyed it although it didn't suit Olga's taste. The Maraschino Liqueur was certainly noticeable in the taste.
 
The recipe:

1 1/2 Oz. Gin (Booth's)
1/2 Oz. Maraschino Liqueur (Luxardo)
3/4 Oz. Lemon Juice (Meyer Lemon)

Shake with cracked ice and strain into cocktail glass.

Garnish with Maraschino Cherry or lemon twist.

Cheers!
