3⁄4 oz Grapefruit juice
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1⁄2 oz Maraschino Liqueur
1⁄4 oz Crème de Violette
1 Maraschino cherry (As garnish)
Instructions

Shake with ice, strain into a coupe glass, and garnish with a cherry.

Notes

A gin Hemingway Daiquiri-Aviation mashup of sorts.

History

While writing up Matty Gees' Sands from Milk & Honey on the blog which was a Casino Cocktail with the addition of grapefruit and no orange bitters or perhaps the Savoy Cocktail Book simplified Aviation with grapefruit, I became inspired. What if I took the Sands and crossed it with the classic 1916 Aviation? Sand in the air made me think of a sandstorm which in turn made me think of Darudes's 2000 hit song as the name. Overall, the grapefruit juice works here with the Maraschino to push the combination a half or even a full step away from the Aviation.
