Gypsy Serenade No. 2
An Aviation split with orange juice, which adds freshness and mellows floral notes

Just excellent, and while I love an Aviation, I like this even better. As the description notes, the addition of orange very much tames the Crème de Violette which for me can be a tad too floral and prominent in an Aviation. Curious about the name for which I have a theory. Difford's notes that the original Gypsy Serenade was created by Mischa Borr, Maestro, The Waldorf-Astoria, New York City. Before taking on that post he was a respected concert violinist and would have been very familiar with the piece "Gypsy Serenade" composed by celebrated violinist and composer Fritz Kreisler under the pseudonym Robert Valdez in 1919. Just a thought!
