Aviation Cocktail by Steven Ritter.

INGREDIENTS

2 ounces London dry gin ¾ ounce lemon juice ½ ounce crème de violette ¼ ounce maraschino liqueur ¼ ounce Simple Syrup Cocktail cherries

DIRECTIONS

1.

Add gin, lemon juice, crème de violette, liqueur, and simple syrup to cocktail shaker, then fill with ice. Shake mixture until fully combined and well chilled, about 15 seconds. Double-strain cocktail into chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with cherries and serve.

NOTES You can substitute ¼ ounce Lavender Liqueur for the crème de violette if desired, but increase the Simple Syrup to ½ ounce. A lemon twist makes a nice additional garnish, if desired.
