This month’s cocktail is a classic that is elegant, visually pleasing and floral. The Aviation is a classic gin drink from the early 1900’s that has the perfect balance of bitter, sour, sweet and floral that would make a perfect cocktail for ringing in the upcoming new year with your guests, family or friends. It is both delicious and elegant looking when served in a coupe glass with its signature violet/blue hue. This is a cocktail you will rarely find out at a restaurant or bar, so it gives you an opportunity to serve your guests something unique. Enjoy!!!!
