We had a friend join us for cocktails this evening. I picked an 'Aviation Cocktail'. It was a very good drink.
The recipe (from "Cocktail, The Drink Bible of the 21st Century"):
1 1/2 oz Gin (Booth's)
1/2 oz Marachino Liqueur (Luxardo)
3/4 oz Lemon Juice (Meyer)
Dash Pear Liqueur (Mathilde)
Shake with cracked ice
Strain into chilled cocktail glass
Garnish with a maraschino cherry or lemon twist.
(I chose the cherry as you can tell from the picture).
We had had this drink once before with a slightly different recipe. This one was much better and definitely worth having again.
Great to read you again...and to see that the post-surgery No alcohol rule is over!
