Apparently popular in the 1930's, this drink was associated with the "golden age of aviation."
Aviation Cocktail
2oz gin
1/2oz maraschino liqueur (such as Muraska or Luxardo)
1/2oz lemon juice
Shake with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
Muraska or Luxardo are some brand-names of maraschino liqueur, which is a clear liqueur, and may not be readily available in all stores.

Hi...I've never been in this forum before, was always kind of intimidated by the 1000+ pages. Should I take the open to everyone seriously, or is it exclusive?

By the way, tkey75, I don't know why, but speaking of furry rodents, I thought you might be interested in this bit of trivia (if you didn't already know it):
Whistler Mountain
This peak [north of Vancouver] was known as London Mountain until the developers of the ski resort petitioned to have it renamed in the late 1960's. They didn't think London was a marketable name.
Although hill-summits on the ridge connecting this flattish summit to the more alpine areas of Garibaldi Park are named Oboe, Piccolo and Flute, Whistler's name does not come from a musical instrument, but from the whistling marmot which was once common and maybe still is on its slopes.
It's because of this that the town's official "mascot" is Willy Whistler, an overweight marmot dressed in red yuppie wear you'll sometimes see trying to have a good time in Whistler village, which is hard to do when kids are pulling your tail.
