Aviation Cocktail
Recognised for its soft lavender or pale violet colour, the presentation is what sets the Aviation cocktail apart from most classics. Its distinct hue comes from a precise inclusion of berries which gives the cocktail a refined and elegant aesthetic that reflects its floral-driven profile. Frequently in trend for how it blends colour, aroma and structure in a balanced composition, it is well-suited to occasions where a light, aromatic concoction is preferred - due to being a cohesive mix without visible pulp or elaborate garnishes.
