Why is the drink called an Aviation?
It’s the color of the sky at dusk, which allegedly inspired the name of the drink. Hey, I love the idea of a bright purple cocktail, but in order to achieve this, you’d have to add enough crème de violette to make your drink taste like it was punched by a bar of soap.
What does Aviation taste like?
Very similar to a Gin sour, it also combines maraschino liqueur to balance sour with sweet, and most versions use violet liqueur for a floral touch and a subtle blue hue.
