How to make it

---

• Shake the gin, maraschino liqueur, and lemon juice well with ice; then strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a maraschino cherry, if desired.
• Note: Maraschino is a clear,dry liqueur made from Marasca cherries, including the crushed pits,that give it a nice subtle bitter almond flavor.It is then distilled very much like brandy,then combined with a pure cane syrup before it is aged.
• This feisty aviation prince was on the endangered species list and headed to oblivion,until a cocktail connoisseur searching for the every allusive Maraschino with the accurate precision of a heat seeking missile accomplished the mission.The vessel was shaken hard enough that tiny flecks of ice float,and in the delivering,one flat spin,then preceding with acceleration,and a slight after burn.
• Far and above one mighty fine...Well,if flying were the language of man, soaring would be its poetry...No one has ever collided with the sky.
• Fly low and slow and don't tip on the turns...and as for the noise of the engine... the sound of freedom...In thrust I trust...and as for the engine power... lots is good, more is better, and too much is just enough.
• Rule one... No matter what else happens, fly the airplane...Rule two...Fly it until the last piece stops moving.
• Never...and I mean NEVER...Be above forty thousand feet and let the autopilot jump out with the only parachute on board and leave you with nothing but a silk worm and a sewing kit.

• An airplane will kill you quick...a woman takes her time.
