Aviation

The Aviation is a classic drink from the early 1900s. A boozy, fresh citrus libation with floral notes, this refreshingly smooth and bright cocktail is named Aviation because the color is reminiscent of the sky.

• 60 ml gin
• 25 ml lemon juice
• 15 ml Maraschino liqueur
• 10 ml crème du violet / 5 ml used to finish as garnish
• Lemon peel

Directions:

1. Add all ingredients in a cocktail shaker add fresh ice and close.
2. Shake vigorously till very cold.

5. Squeeze lemon peel to expel essential oils. Serve.
