Débarquement

2 oz Gin, Aviation

1⁄2 oz Lemon juice

Instructions

Shake, strain, up and garnish

History

Crème de Pêche and St. Germain meld well, and I knew I wanted to use them in a gin based cocktail--Aviation doesn't "gin-out" the subtler flavors in the drink but still provides interesting Indian sarsaparilla and green cardamom notes

  • Used my still-aging homemade peach liqueur on 7/28/20. Might need a bit simple or more of the liqueur.
  • Too sweet for my taste
  • Gin- sweet, sour
