I was determined to make Aviations tonight, but unbeknownst to me I had only a bar spoonful of maraschino in the house. So I used that, substituted some amontillado for the rest, eased up on the lemon juice a little, and garnished with a lemon twist. The gin was old reliable Beefeaters. The result was your (rather, Ted Haigh's) Barbara West, with a nice bit of roundness and depth from the scant portion of maraschino. Quite tasty, and quite a discovery through you that my "accident" had a name! Interesting, this Barbara West.
