Homecracka Ed G sent me Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails for Christmas. Having some grapefruit left over from a Hemingway Daiquiri* and plenty of maraschino liqueur, the first drink I mixed was the Seventh Heaven. Despite the grapefruit juice, this drink is disgustingly sweet - I almost spit the first sip out. After determining I mixed the drink correctly, I tripled the amount of grapefruit juice. This modified version of the Seventh Heaven was basically an Aviation with grapefruit substituted for lemon. Still too sweet.

Like the television show, this cocktail sucks ass. The Seventh Heaven is not recommended.

notes:

* A Daiquiri for men, not the strawberry bitch drink served at abominations like TGI Fridays.
