AVIATION

The Aviation is a classic cocktail known for its beautiful pale blue color and delightful combination of flavors. Here's a recipe for making an Aviation:

Ingredients:

• 2 oz Gin
• 1/2 oz Maraschino liqueur
• 1/2 oz Crème de violette
• 3/4 oz Fresh lemon juice
• Garnish: Maraschino cherry (optional)

Instructions:

1. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
2. Add the gin, Maraschino liqueur, crème de violette, and fresh lemon juice to the shaker.
3. Shake the ingredients well for about 10-15 seconds to chill the mixture.
4. Strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe glass or a martini glass.
5. If desired, garnish with a maraschino cherry. The deep red color of the cherry contrasts beautifully with the pale blue hue of the cocktail.

The crème de violette gives the Aviation its distinct color and subtle floral notes, while the combination of gin, Maraschino liqueur, and lemon juice creates a well-balanced and refreshing cocktail. Enjoy your Aviation responsibly!
