Baffled at the speakeasy bar that just opened and doesn't appear to serve any gin based cocktails
#so so many prohibition cocktails are gin cocktails#for that matter a lot of the best pre prohibition cocktails are gin cocktails#no corpse reviver no 2? no bees knees? no aviation? no gin fizz? no gin rickey? no last word?#tbh ive been looking for a cocktail bar that does The Last Word bc chartreuse is expensive and i want to try w/o commitment#altho tbf maybe its better if cocktail bars dont try the aviation. it always ends up so...sweet? when they do it#like if you follow the original recipes an Aviation is not a sweet cocktail. its sharp and clear and refreshing and just a bit floral#if i see an aviation that is full on PURPLE i know something has gone wrong#an aviation is purple in the way that the sky just above the sunrise is purple#the poor aviation...ive been served one that was made w the juice from those awful dyed red cherries instead of maraschino liqueur :(
