Mix That Drink Kitschy Drink Recipes
The Aviation cocktail uses a touch of one of the lesser known and harder to find liqueurs in the world: creme de violette. It’s just what it sounds like – a liqueur that tastes like violets.
This drink recipe combines that touch of violet flavor with a double dose of gin, a good amount of lemon juice and a touch of maraschino liqueur. The overall flavor is citrus with notes of herbs and flowers and that bit of cherry to bring it all together.
Aviation cocktail
- 3 ounces gin
