Champagne at the fair

Aviation

This cocktail will transport you to the window seat, gazing at the sky at dusk. It’s crisp with a hint of floral, and easy to prepare.

Get ready

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Cocktail strainer
  • 2 oz gin
  • ½ oz maraschino liqueur
  • ¼ oz creme de violette
  • ¾ oz lemon juice

Pick the gin of your choice for the base of this cocktail. As we are recently home from our Weekend getaway to Michigan, I decided to use Field Gin from our visit to Journeyman Distillery. Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur and Rothman & Winter Creme de Violette are easy to find at a large liquor store like Binny’s if they aren’t currently in your bar.

Get mixing

  1. Add all ingredients into a cocktail shaker ¾ full of ice.
  2. Shake until frost forms on the outside of the shaker.
  3. Strain contents of the shaker into the glass.
  4. Garnish the cocktail with a lemon twist.
