IBA Classic

Aviation是IBA认可的经典不朽鸡尾酒,将金酒、新鲜柠檬汁和马拉斯奇诺利口酒结合,打造出一款带有花香和樱桃韵味的均衡复杂酸酒。23.71%的酒精度,展现了金酒的植物特性在马拉斯奇诺的樱桃与杏仁香调映衬下的精妙,是一款烈酒主导的精致之作。原配方还呼吁加入紫罗兰利口酒,赋予其标志性的薰衣草色泽。

History & Origins

The Aviation was created around 1916 by Hugo Ensslin, the head bartender at the Hotel Wallick in New York, and appeared in his 1916 book Recipes for Mixed Drinks. The original recipe included crème de violette, which gave the drink its sky-blue color — hence the aviation name — but this ingredient was omitted in many 20th-century versions due to its limited availability. The IBA officially recognized it in its Unforgettables category, cementing its place as one of the great American gin cocktails.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Bright lemon and gin botanicals lead, with the sweet cherry and almond notes of maraschino in the background. Palate: Crisp and sour from the lemon juice, with the gin's juniper and botanical character providing body and depth; maraschino contributes a distinctive sweet, slightly nutty cherry flavor. Finish: Clean and medium-length, with a pleasant interplay of citrus and cherry.

Pro Tip

Use genuine Luxardo or a quality maraschino liqueur — not maraschino syrup — as the liqueur's distinct flavor is central to the cocktail's character.
