Aviation
New York, United States|Prep Time: 4 min
Aviation emerged during the golden age of pre-Prohibition hotel-bar cocktails when bartenders began experimenting with aromatic modifiers beyond simple citrus-sugar balance. The interaction between maraschino dryness and violet perfume creates a delicate but structured profile that distinguishes the drink from other gin sours of the same era. Its revival during the modern craft-cocktail movement restored its place as one of the most elegant floral classics in the shaken category
