Crisp gin and lime lifted by the cherry-almond sweetness of maraschino. A floral layer of crème de violette sits on top and sinks slowly into the glass.

Instructions

  1. Chill a cocktail glass and put a Maraschino cherry in it, ideally one with its stem.
  2. Add the gin, maraschino liqueur and lime juice to a shaker with ice.
  3. Shake hard until the shaker is cold.
  4. Fine strain into the glass over the cherry.
  5. Pour the crème de violette gently across the surface. It sinks through the drink and leaves a violet haze, like a sky seen from high altitude.
