Specifications

The Aviation is usually mixed with gin, lemon juice, maraschino liqueur, and crème de violette. That blend creates a pale lavender drink with a gentle floral aroma and a balanced taste. It is served chilled and shaken so the citrus stays bright. If you are choosing a drink to go with dinner, the Aviation sits nicely between a refreshing sour and a more aromatic cocktail. For more ideas on matching drinks with dishes, see our pairing guide.

Best for: guests who want a classic gin cocktail with a lighter, floral profile. Serving note: serve cold to keep the lemon and violet notes clean.

If you want a cocktail that feels graceful, memorable, and easy to sip, the Aviation is a strong choice. Order one for your next night out and enjoy a classic with real charm.
