Ingredients

  • 2 oz. gin
  • 1/2 oz. maraschino liqueur
  • 1/2 oz. fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 oz. crème de violette
  • 1 maraschino cherry for garnish

Instructions

  • Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Add the gin, maraschino liqueur, fresh lemon juice, and crème de violette to the shaker.
  • Shake the mixture vigorously for 15-20 seconds to mix the ingredients and chill the cocktail.
  • Strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or martini glass to get rid of the ice.
  • Garnish your Aviation with a maraschino cherry by placing it either in the drink or skewering it with a cocktail pick.

Notes

  • A gin with a strong botanical vibe is the way to go. Many declare London Dry Gin as their top pick – it lays a great foundation for the other flavors. But remember, there's no harm in experimenting to find your gin soulmate.
