Moonlight Serenade

I created this cosmic cocktail based on the Difford's Guide Aviation recipe. I leaned heavily into fruit liqueurs to complement the gin in this drink and rounded everything out with a splash of Kümmel to amp up the herbaceousness. I used Empress Gin as my base, and the deep indigo color of the gin lent itself well to the dark liqueurs of Violette and Cassis, and I added purple edible glitter for a sparkling night sky effect. As this drink was fruity and floral, I garnished it with edible flower...

Editor's Note
Empress 1908 Gin provides a deep indigo base for this fruit-forward riff on an Aviation. A splash of Kümmel adds an unexpected herbal bite to the floral and berry notes.

This is such a beautiful, thematic cocktail! The use of Empress Gin with the edible glitter really captures the 'Moonlight' concept perfectly.
