A US Classic Reimagined (the Aviation)
The Aviation cocktail is known for its striking purple hue and floral notes, thanks to crème de violette. By substituting gin with tequila, we introduce earthy and grassy flavors that balance the sweetness of violet and pandan, aligning with the growing “tequila boom” in America. The addition of Foamee or egg white enhances the appearance and provides a richer mouthfeel compared to the traditional Aviation.
