A cocktail created in 2011 by Sierra Zimei at the Four Seasons in San Francisco. Think of it as the bold cousin of the classic Aviation, swapping gin for rye whiskey and bringing in that rich, spicy depth. It’s got all the simple beauty of a whiskey sour, but leveled up with a touch of maraschino liqueur for that bittersweet, nutty, cherry-kissed complexity. Smooth. Balanced. Absolutely repeat-worthy. 🍒🔥

In a cocktail shaker, add all ingredients and shake with ice. Fine strain into a cocktail coupe and garnish with two cocktail cherries and a mint sprig. Enjoy!
Editor's Note
Rye whiskey replaces gin in this bold Aviation riff, trading floral notes for spicy, oak-driven depth. Maraschino liqueur provides a nutty, bittersweet finish.
