Question

A gem given by Mary Pickford to the Smithsonian is the namesake for one variety of this substance. One mixture of this substance with orange flower water was invented by Henry C. Ramos and must be shaken for around 12 minutes. This substance is mixed with lemon juice and honey in the “Bee’s Knees” cocktail. This spirit (15[1])is replaced by wine or prosecco (15[1])in the (*) sbagliato (“SPAHG-lee-AH-toh”) variety of one (-5[1])drink, in which it features alongside Campari and vermouth. Ryan Reynolds (10[2])owns (-5[1])a brand of this (-5[1])spirit (10[1])named Aviation, and it is the primary spirit in the negroni. The antimalarial properties of quinine led to the creation of this spirit’s most famous cocktail. For 10 points, what juniper-distilled spirit comes in (10[1])“sloe” and “London Dry” varieties, and is most (10[1])likely to be combined with tonic water? ■END■ (10[1])
