A lovely cocktail from the “sour family”, the Aviation was created in the early 1900s by a NY city bartender. For many years it was made without the Crème de Violette, but now that it is available again, this cocktail has made a resurgence in its original form.

• 2 oz Gin
• .5 oz Luxardo Marischino Liqueur
• .5 oz fresh lemon juice
• .25 oz Crème de Violette

Combine all ingredients with ice and shake. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. No garnish.
