Aviation cocktail
The Aviation is a cocktail made of
- 2 ounces vodka or gin
- 1 ounce lemon juice
- 1 ounce maraschino liqueur
Maraschino liqueur is hard to find in the United States, and many bars do not stock it. Common brands of maraschino are Luxardo and Stock. Other cherry-flavored liqueurs or the syrup from maraschino cherries should not be substituted, as they are much sweeter and have a very different taste.
