Gin and Maraschino Cocktails
45 recipes. Where the Last Word and the Aviation live.
Maraschino is dry, funky and cherry-scented, and gin's juniper gives it something to push against. The pair is behind a small run of very good pre-Prohibition drinks that have all come back into fashion for the same reason: they are sharper and stranger than they sound.
The Last Word is the one to make first, four ingredients in equal quarters, gin, maraschino, green Chartreuse and lime. Equal parts is unusual and it is what makes the drink memorable.
Measure the maraschino carefully. Fifteen millilitres is a flavour and thirty is the whole drink, and there is not much room between them.
