We wanted a "gin drink" tonight and thought an Aviation might fit the bill. Looking for a lemon, I glanced at the fruit basket, saw a clementine, and voila! the Paddleford was born.Named in honor of Clementine Paddleford, a food journalist of the 40s and 50s, the Paddleford is a little sweeter than an Aviation, but one that will go into rotation for those nights when something a little gentler than a martini is called for.
The Paddleford
Add to an iced cocktail shaker:
- 2 ounces gin
- 1 ounce clementine juice
- 1/2 ounce maraschino
- squeeze of lemon

I don't like gin but, I tell you, I LOVE the other 3 ingredients so much that I am actually itching to make this!
Here's the thing about gin: too many people have been scarred by overly juniper-y gin and tonics. Try a lighter gin like Plymouth and you will (hopefully) be pleasantly surprised.
Mary, you're close enough to me - let me know and I can drop off a courtesy shot of Plymouth for you. :-)
