From the "Small Bites" blog in my local paper - http://food.lohudblogs.com/. This broad knows how to eat and drink. I present to you the Aviation Cocktail - or version thereof:
Lately we’ve been fooling around with the proportions of the Aviation cocktail.
The first one is a bit sweeter, because it uses more creme de violette. It might be good for someone who isn’t too keen on trying a new cocktail:
For 2 drinks:
2 ounces gin
1/2 ounce lemon juice
1/3 Â ounce maraschino liqueur
1/6 teaspoons creme de violette
This next version, we’ve found, is perfectly balanced between the aromatics of the gin, the brightness of the lemon, the thick viscosity of the creme de violette and the nuttiness of the maraschino:
For 2 drinks:
3 ounces gin
1 ounce maraschino liqueur
1 ounce lemon juice
4 teaspoons creme de violette
We tripled that for this batch of 6 cocktails.

Horsethief -- my favorite
1.5 oz good Gin
half oz Vermouth
a third oz Good Verte Absinthe
Shaken and on the rox. I like to double the recipe so I only have to make half as many.
