Reminiscent of an Savoy Aviation with orange juice and served frappé. Suited to hot summer evenings. Bring them, and it on!

Maraschino, gin and zesty citrus hit. Nice.

A maraschino-heavy drink, can't be getting any more maraschino (of course it could, by drinking maraschino straight, but nobody wants this). That doesn't mean I didn't like it. Sometimes you fancy the flavour of maraschino!
