Description:
The Casino is a dry early 20th-century gin cocktail included in Hugo Ensslin's Recipes for Mixed Drinks. It is close to the Aviation in its mix of gin, maraschino, and citrus, but without the floral note of violet. In flavor, it is focused, citrusy, and lightly nutty-fruity. Orange bitters add aromatic dryness and make the drink feel more restrained.
