The Aviation is a classic, pre-Prohibition cocktail known for its subtle floral notes and pale, sky-blue color. It was invented by bartender Hugo Ensslin in New York City and first appeared in his 1916 cocktail book, Recipes for Mixed Drinks.

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz gin
  • 3/4 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 oz maraschino liqueur
  • 1/4 oz crème de violette (a violet-flavored liqueur)
  • Ice
  • Garnish: A brandied cherry and/or a lemon twis

Instructions:

  1. Chill your glass. Place a coupe or martini glass in the freezer or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail.
  2. Add ingredients to a shaker. Combine the gin, lemon juice, maraschino liqueur, and crème de violette in a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
  3. Shake and strain. Shake vigorously for about 20 seconds, until the outside of the shaker is frosted. Strain the drink into your chilled glass.
  4. Garnish and serve. Garnish with a brandied cherry, a lemon twist, or both before serving

Kit includes: Sipsmith Gin (750ml), Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur (750ml), Bitter Truth Violet (750ml)
