I think my overall issue with Aviations and their variations is that I just don't like maraschino liqueur. Similar to pineapple juice, I feel it overpowers any drink it's used in.

It was okay, misses the wow factor

I agree, this drink needs some oomph

This was good, but not great. I found the overall flavors to be rather muddled together.

I'm a huge fan of Manhattans, and I also love cognac cocktails. This is the best of both worlds. I think it would be difficult to order this at a bar, though.

I found this to be a bit underwhelming. I might try it again with calvados.

Mze this with armagnac instead of cognac and it was delicious.

Made this with Sipsmith London dry gin and I think the balance is a bit off. Will try it again with a milder gin.

I may be in the minority here, but I adore floral gins. In my opinion, there aren't enough of them. I like this gin quite a bit.

I miss this gin so much.

I have both Rothman & Winter Crème de Violette and Crème Yvette in my bar, so I made this twice, one with each. As much as I love R&W, it does not do this drink justice. The unanimous vote at the bar tonight is for Crème Yvette.

This didn't quite do it for me. I made it exactly per the recipe, except I was inexplicably out of Bombay London Dry (normally a staple in my bar), so I subbed Hendrick's. I found this drink to be rather bland.

I am not a fan of pineapple, as I feel it overpowers a drink. I'm forever on the hunt for rum cocktails that don't have a drop of pineapple.

Fabulous. I really like this one, despite an initial reservation about tinkering with my Manhattan. I find that upping the ingredients to 60/10/20/20 gives me the correct size drink for my glasses.

110%?

Found this stateside and it quickly became my go-to gin. Sadly, the one bottle I purchased did not last, and I've never found it since.
