The cherry taste in maraschino liqueur is really quite slight, it's one of many flavors. Christy has enjoyed a combination of gin, Fresca and maraschino liqueur, but only had a sip of one or two of my Aviations. I'll try to make another soon and let you know what she thinks, but certainly the terror that a Negroni inspires (what's wrong with you people?) was absent. Aviation is kind of an interesting looking drink, it always appears to me like a martini that someone shook like crazy. Given the taste, which is a little sweet but intriguing, it's kind of a neat visual.

Ow! My curiosity is piqued. Not that I don't trust you, but may I ask what Christy thinks of this drink? Your photo of the Magellan is very beautiful. Looks like the lemon juice added a fetching cloudiness, giving the Magellan an even more Star Wars look than usual...Lovely. The idea of combining dry gin with a cherry breaks my brain. Ow!
