Sandstorm

0

A tart, floral gin sour: grapefruit and lemon juice against maraschino liqueur, with a little crème de violette and a maraschino cherry. Created by Frederic Yarm in Boston, 2024.

Frederic Yarm of Boston created the Sandstorm in 2024 while writing about Matty Gees' Sands from Milk & Honey, which is essentially a Casino Cocktail with grapefruit and without orange bitters. Yarm began to wonder what would happen if it were blended with the 1916 Aviation, and named the result after Darude's 2000 track "Sandstorm", inspired by the swirling sand. Grapefruit juice and maraschino liqueur together place the drink somewhere between a classic Aviation and something new.
