Aviation
The Aviation is a classic cocktail with a delicate floral aroma and a vibrant, slightly tart taste. Its pale purple hue comes from the Crème de Violette, which adds a subtle floral sweetness. The combination of gin, maraschino liqueur, lemon juice, and violette creates a well-balanced, refreshing drink. Originally created in the early 1900s, it gained popularity as an elegant and sophisticated choice. The Aviation is traditionally served straight up in a chilled cocktail glass, garnished with a maraschino cherry. Its botanical notes from gin blend beautifully with the citrus and cherry flavors. This cocktail fell out of favor for a while due to the scarcity of Crème de Violette but has seen a revival in recent years. It is now a must-try for lovers of floral and citrus-forward drinks.
