Gin. Some people love it, others do not. I'm a weird minority that just has to be in the mood for it to drink it. That mood doesn't grace my mind often, though. Regardless, here's a cool gin-based recipe that is just fun to drink. Ladies and gents, the Aviation- What ya need: 1 ounce fresh lemon juice 2 ounces gin 1/2 ounce maraschino liqueur 1/4 teaspoon simple syrup 1 cup ice cubes Ok, so- In a cocktail shaker, combine the lemon juice, gin, maraschino liqueur, and simple syrup. Throw in the ice and shake for about 20 seconds. Strain into an old fashioned glass or a coupe glass and enjoy! Some people garnish this with a cherry, but I could care less.

People used to drink. Take that how you will. I think that the art of the cocktail has gone to the way of the drunk girl, who thinks she can pull of pearls as well as Audrey Hepburn (hint: NO ONE pulls off pearls that well, you dumb whore), who orders a well vodka with cranberry and calls it classy. Sit the fuck down. Ok, I'm sorry for that. So here's the deal. About 90 years ago, someone thought up the Negroni. Drink this. Enjoy this. Smile. What ya need: 1.5 oz Campari 1.5 oz gin 1.5 oz sweet vermouth a sliver of orange peel Ok, so: Fill a glass with ice. Put all the ingredients in said glass. Stir together, gently. Boom, you're done. Let's all have a drink.
