This Aviation Cocktail Flies Free From Alcohol
The Aviation is a classic cocktail made with gin, maraschino liqueur, crème de violette, and lemon juice created by Hugo Ensslin, head bartender at the Hotel Wallick in New York, in the early twentieth century. Harry Craddock’s influential Savoy Cocktail Book (1930) omitted the crème de violette and many later bartenders have followed Craddock’s lead, leaving out the difficult-to-find violet liqueur. Terps & Co’s gin-like already has a beautiful light purple hue, making it the perfect non-alcoholic alternative for this classic drink.
Ingredients: • • • • •
Two shots (60mls) Terps & Co gin-like A dash (8ml) of Maraschino brine A dash (8ml) freshly squeezed orange juice A splash (16ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice Peeled and curled lemon rind.
Method:
Add gin-like, lemon juice, and liqueur to a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice and shake until cold. Strain into a coupe glass, then garnish with a lemon twist. Extra Maraschino cherry brine can always be added for those with a sweeter tooth.
The CosNOpolitan While the Cosmopolitan cocktail is widely perceived to be a more modern creation – rising in popularity in the early 2000s as the drink of choice for the ladies in the hugely popular television series, Sex and the City, there is a recipe for a Cosmopolitan Daisy which appears in Pioneers of Mixing at Elite Bars 1903–1933, published in 1934. This cocktail remains a firm favourite and can easily be made into a non-alcoholic alternative.
