About the Casino
In the Savoy Cocktail Book (1930) it's nearly identical to the Aviation, whose recipe there leaves out the crème de violette. The Casino adds orange bitters.
Missing something?
- No Gin? Use Old Tom Gin (Sweeter and rounder, so cut the syrup a little)
- No Gin? Use Genever (Maltier and rounder)
- No Maraschino Liqueur? Use Kirsch (Dry cherry spirit; add a little simple syrup)
- No Lemon Juice? Use Lemon (Squeeze fresh: 1 lemon gives about 30 ml)
- No Lemon Juice? Use Lime Juice (Sharper, different aroma)
