Leave It to Me

Name: Leave It to Me
Ingredients: 1.5 oz London dry gin (classic backbone); 1 tsp raspberry syrup (prefer rich syrup for better texture); 1 tsp fresh lemon juice (freshly squeezed); 0.25 tsp maraschino liqueur (small amount to avoid overpowering)

Leave It to Me is a compact, old-school gin cocktail with bright citrus, soft berry sweetness, and a dry herbal core. It is often described as an Aviation-adjacent template that swaps floral violet tones for raspberry notes. The result is elegant, slightly tart, and surprisingly complex for such a short ingredient list.
