Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass.
After Spoke, I decided to make a nightcap and reached for Boothby's World Drinks And How To Mix Them. There, I spotted the Lord Suffolk and was drawn into the Gin Crusta-like feel. I first made the drink using lime juice and returned to it a few days later and made it with lemon. With lime, the drink donated a gin, lime, and fruity aroma. Grape, lime, and orange notes filled the sip and gave way to gin swallow with a tart Maraschino finish. With the lemon, the nose was more gin- and Maraschino-driven. A lemon sip was joined by fruity flavors from the Cointreau and sweet vermouth; next, the swallow shared lemony gin and Maraschino notes. With the lime, the Lord Suffolk was a Pegu Club meeting an Aviation, while with the lemon, the drink was a softer and less floral Aviation.
