Aviations were one of the first cocktails I got into before becoming a bartender, but they quickly became too sweet for my taste. I've come up with several aviation riffs, and this is one of them!

Cocktail Bartender

Hi there! I’m Cat and I got my bartending start in Columbus, Ohio. I really love creating new drinks to match different themes, seasons, and palates. I also love traveling, and am currently working at a cozy cocktail spot in Taipei! Hopefully I can add more countries to the list in the future ;) Enjoy the drinks I’ve shared - cheers!...

Combine gin, St. Germain, creme de violette, and lemon in a shaker, fill with ice, and strain into a Nick & Nora glass. Top with prosecco (or champagne if you'd prefer slightly on the dryer side). Cheers!

Editor's Note

Elderflower liqueur replaces maraschino in this floral Aviation riff. Prosecco adds a dry, effervescent finish that balances the violette's sweetness.
