Vintage Spirits & Forgotten Cocktails

[Plantes Vertes]

Yes, I've realised that three drinks at once works much better for me than one. As it happens, there were two other people involved this time, but still, from now on I will go with three.

We used Beefeater and M&R, as JAZ recommended upthread.

Yesterday I tried out the Seventh Heaven from VSaFC.

1 3/4 (2) oz gin

1/2 oz maraschino

1/4 oz grapefruit juice

In these ratios it's very heavy on the maraschino. I would make an Aviation with 1/2 oz lemon juice so it does not make a lot of sense to use less grapefruit juice than that.

I would add more grapefruit for sure, with maybe a little lemon like the Sands cocktail from Milk & Honey
