Aviation
A citrusy and sweet sour built around gin, with the classic proportions and service that make the Aviation endure.
“The Aviation arrives composed, luminous, and fully aware it has everyone's attention.”
WHY THIS DRINK WORKS
The Aviation works because gin, maraschino liqueur, lemon juice meet in deliberate proportion. Keep the method shaken, use fresh ice, and give the final garnish enough attention to finish the aroma without distracting from the drink.
