Is this blog turning into Megan’s Cocktail Corner? The Aviation is my number one go-to drink when I find myself at a premium bar… meaning, the type that doesn’t offer Miller Lite on tap. If it’s not on the menu, it can be a trick to order, because it requires some speciality liqueurs. Ergo, I splurged with a holiday gift card at Binny’s and now I can mix up a quick Aviation at my home bar. 2 oz Beefeater gin .75 oz lemon juice .5 oz Luxardo Maraschino liqueur .25 oz Rothman & Winter Creme de Violette (bonus: product of Austria!) Shake with ice and strain into a chilled coupe. No garnish. Recipe via The PDT Cocktail Book
