Apricot Aviation
This variation on the classic Aviation cocktail highlights all the best parts of summer stone fruits.
Twentieth Century
The Twentieth Century mixes gin with lemon, crème de cacao and the French aperitif wine, Lillet. While the list of ingredients can look discordant--I mean, gin, lemon and chocolate? Really?--the mixture is rich and elegant, much like the train it was named for.
The Paper Plane
A little sweet, a little bitter, a little fresh, and a little too easy drinking.
Blue Moon Cocktail
The sweetly floral aroma of crème de violette is an obvious pairing to the boreal forest notes of good gin. This cocktail is based on Hugo Ensslin's 1916 Aviation recipe, merely omitting the maraschino liqueur.
The Jasmine
Don't let the color fool you. With its gentle pink hue, the Jasmine may look as prissy and cute as a Hello Kitty armband, and its unassuming appearance and sprightly color has no doubt appealed to many drinkers of the once-ubiquitous Cosmo. But unlike that candy-colored alcopop, the Jasmine is all business, its alluring tint supplied not by the Cosmopolitan's innocuous red cranberry juice but by the intensely garnet Campari, an Italian aperitif famous for its powerful bitter flavor.
Atty Cocktail
A good gin contains floral elements in its mix of botanical flavors, and the creme de violette nicely calls the floral notes to the fore.
French 75
The combination of gin, lemon juice, and Champagne brings out the best in each.
The Honey Ryder (Upgraded Appletini)
If any drink was in desperate need of redemption, it's the Appletini. Taking inspiration from James Bond and his Vesper Martini I reached for a unique Polish spirit in order to create this tasty libation.
Bramble
As gorgeous as it is delicious, with blackberry liqueur slowly seeping into every sip.
Bijou Cocktail
With equal parts gin, sweet vermouth, and green Chartreuse, accompanied by a dash of orange bitters, the Bijou is bombastically herbaceous.
