the aviation cocktail is a gin - based cocktail whose special appeal comes from the addition of maraschino liqueur. previously headed for the endangered species list, the aviation cocktail seems to be having a revival thanks to the internet. the aviation was once regarded as the prince of cocktails, but the scarcity of maraschino liqueur nearly sent the drink into tippler’s oblivion. the name of this feisty depression - era cocktail is supposedly linked to air travel of the time—a risky venture not for the faint of heart .
my favorite cocktail! so yummy. using the actual luxardo maraschino cherries make this cocktail that much better, too !
one of the most famous cocktails first printed in ensslin’s book is the aviation, but for a long time bartenders used the aviation recipe from the more popular savoy cocktail book that has been in print for many years .

the poor, benighted aviation was released from cocktail trivia prison in 2007 when the very floral rothman and winter crème de violette reappeared in the us market, and the renewed possibility of making the aviation along the lines of the original ensslin recipe caught the fancy of the growing body of history - minded cocktailians. in short order, the blogosphere elevated the aviation to fashionable prominence .
this is the best aviation recipe! the balances are perfect shawn. thank you !
here in la cañada, the flintridge proper serves the authentic version of this cocktail .
my (simon difford) adaptation of hugo r. ensslin' s aviation cocktail in his 1916 recipes for mixed drinks .
few cocktails beyond the aviation have called for creme de violette, and by the 1960' s it had disappeared from the u. s. market. this sent the aviation even further into obscurity until a recent cocktail renaissance and the re - release of the floral liqueur .
though bartenders loved the simple gin drink, they could never figure out why it was called the aviation. it was a cocktail mystery for many years .
it' s not a contest. the cocktail glasses used to be smaller .
the owners decided on the
nick and nora
glass for the aviation. those are the glasses used in the movie version of
the thin man .
choosing the right mixing technique for making a cocktail is straightforward. in the case of the daiquiri, it is shaken because it contains the juice of a lime. charlotte demonstrates how to make a classic daiquiri cocktail as well as how to properly shake a cocktail .
if you choose to skip the signature creme de violette, do be careful about the cocktail' s balance. without this seemingly insignificant ingredient, the aviation can quickly become too sour .
the aviation was the last american cocktail to be created and published before prohibition. sure there were speakeasies, but when prohibition arrived in 1920, the production of crème de violette went right out the window .
every cocktail needs to be strained, and using the right strainer is key in any cocktail preparation. the mixology guys show us three different types of strainers and the uses for each one .
for me the most important point is that the ‘yellow’ aviation can be a tremendous ‘sweet / sour’ drink .
the aviation cocktail will give you wings. seriously. i stalked the aviation cocktail for months before trying it at a local speakeasy cocktail bar. it’s a prohibition - era martini, consisting of gin, maraschino liqueur (cherry), crème de violette, and fresh lemon juice. it’s got a slight violet hue and it’s nothing short of amazing. half of the ingredients are ordinary, the other half are…say that again ?
noted for its beautiful color, this old - school gin aviation cocktail is as blue as the sky. created before prohibition, this staple was lost to the united states after the noble experiment. luckily, the return of lots of classic liqueurs and quality spirits put this cocktail back on the market .
the aviation cocktail uses a touch of one of the lesser known and harder to find liqueurs in the world: creme de violette. it’s just what it sounds like – a liqueur that tastes like violets .
i started getting serious about cocktails in may of 2002. at that time the aviation (gin, maraschino, lemon) was “the secret handshake” of the cocktail set – if you knew what the aviation was, you were ‘in the know’. i believe dale degroff brought it back from obscurity, but it might be paul harrington who made it famous in his 1998 book “cocktail, a drinks manual for the 21rst century” and in his cocktail column on urltoken [ which may have actually been the first cocktail “blog” ], and because he was serving them to the dot com crowd in emeryville, ca .
the city of valentine recently used the incentive to attract the production crew of the movie ,
aviation cocktail ,
which filmed there in the fall. the city invested $ 5, 000 and the production company spent $ 40, 000 to $ 45, 000, coash said .
this cocktail had both taste and effect. it was blue - violet. it was blue like the sky, with a touch of purple twilight. it was worthy of its name: the aviation .

great recipe and commentary. the aviation is one of my go to’s if not in mood for straight gin martini .
it was sometime in the 1930' s that the creme de violette was dropped from the aviation and the maraschino took over the drink. this can be noted in harry craddock' s popular
savoy cocktail book
, which has been an influence on bartending guides since its first publication in 1930 .
shake with ice, strain into a well - chilled cocktail glass. garnish with brandied cherry .
this liqueur may make the aviation what it really was meant to be, though even during the four decades of its absence the cocktail was still being made without it. interestingly, some connoisseurs have reverted to the maraschino - only recipe because they believe the modern creme de violette is not what it should be .
credit mad men for rekindling nostalgia for the 1950s and 60s if you must, but the aviation cocktail, a dramatic thriller that' s cast, crewed, and filmed in colorado and nebraska during that era looks to be a different creature entirely .
the aviation is a great favorite of mine. so i’d like to present a different point of view on its last decades .
easily the best selling point is the aviation cocktail ’s soundtrack, by wilson helmericks and featuring snake rattle rattle snake. the film’s lana del ray - meets - daughter compositions and arrangements set the varying moods perfectly and it – whilst not unfalteringly cathartic – is definitely worth checking out whether you manage to see the film or not .
another hot monday night at the flintridge proper. the happy hour had come and gone. now was the time for a real cocktail. on the table before me there was a small stemmed glass .
shake the aviation hard enough that tiny flecks of ice float in the drink as soon as it is poured. stay clear of the gooey syrup in maraschino cherry jars. it’s no substitute for the liqueur .
unfortunately, aside from the introduction of some great ideas as well as some excellent cinematography and musical stylings, the aviation cocktail didn’t soar as well as it should have – but definitely keep your eyes open for whatever any of those involved are up to next .
shot in nebraska and touted as colorado’s finest, the aviation cocktail is a “dramatic thriller” nonetheless most reminiscent of the south; its story official description notes that “adultery leads to jealousy which leads back to murder”, but its sense of morality crushes some of the thrills it could have given .
like the world' s finest gins, aviation is distilled using a proprietary maceration process that produces a pure medley of botanical flavor .
the aviation cocktail is chelsea flower show in a glass, combining gin, maraschino liqueur, lemon juice and crème de violette. and until a few years ago, it was impossible to make properly, because crème de violette had disappeared from the shelves .
valentine, ne was chosen as the primary location for' the aviation cocktail', not only because it was the ideal setting for the story, but also because the film friendly community supported the production through the economic development board. consequently, nebraska senator colby coash pushed film incentive bill lb863 into law and alexander payne took advantage of the new state tax credits, shooting his film' nebraska' around norfolk, ne .
thus, the arrival of crème de violette has made the aviation the centerpiece of a robust, larger conversation about whether cocktail recipes, especially the first publication recipes, should be considered law, or merely guidelines; and to what extent it’s reasonable to change proportions, to add, subtract, or substitute ingredients, or even change the size of the pour, before the drink takes on such a different character that it becomes a different product altogether. can a cocktail properly evolve beyond its original definition? or, as it loses its fidelity to the “original, ” must it be considered an entirely different cocktail, signified at the very least by a different name ?
the nick and nora cocktail glass is smaller than most, and as the waldorf bar book notes ,
the cocktail, taken according to general practice, is not sipped as is wine. if it is not gulped, it is usually finished in three swallows, or at most four .
a warm baked apple aroma and flavor treat the palate when taking a sip of the treacle. with wonderful notes of cinnamon the treacle is the perfect cocktail to show off a delicious spiced rum like sailor jerry spiced rum .
the aviation is one of those unheard of treasures. it’s a cocktail you’ve probably never heard of, but need to get to know right now. up until a year ago, i had never heard of the aviation. i started to see it in tv shows, online, in restaurants, everywhere. it’s one of those things you don’t notice until you actually notice it—and then you see it all over the place .
we really do not know who first created the aviation cocktail. according to david wondrich' s
imbibe !
, it was first printed in a 1916 book by hugo ensslin called
recipes for mixed drinks
. it has always been difficult to gauge how popular the cocktail was at the time and because the two key liqueurs were likely just as rare as they are today, it is assumed that this was a specialty drink served at only the most elite of bars .
no c. d. v is no aviation i don’t like the raste of maraschino very much but in the aviation it has a perfect counterpart: c. d. v i would like to sample your c. d. v, seems to bring more colour in the drink then my giffard c. d. v
but here at aviation, we have our own way of doing things. aviation old tom is aged for one year in used whiskey barrels made from american white oak. the aging process brings out the democratic blend of botanicals so this old tom mixes like a gin and drinks neat like a whiskey .
hi, don—i agree that the crème de violette seems to be a natural for the aviation. on the other hand, absent crème de v. , respected bartenders made the drink without for decades. we work with what we have, i guess. it’s fascinating to me how drinks get redefined over time, based on available ingredients, and the aviation is a good example of that .
i' ve tried every gin on the planet and aviation is, hands down, the best. also, i don' t recommend trying every gin on the planet. stick with this one .

for an independent film “the aviation cocktail” features excellent production values, spectacular photography and a poignant music score (it’s also great to see so many great old american cars all in one movie). higgins direction is surprisingly solid, especially for a first timer. he knows where he wants to take his characters and what he wants the film to say. though there are some logical problems with the film’s major plot twist, “the aviation cocktail” is a potent and brooding indie film that features richly developed characters and some excellent performances (kiger, eaton and lockhart stand out). this is a quality film that needs to be embraced by the indie community .
the aviation has been around at least since 1911, according to david wondrich’s imbibe! it has been flying well under the radar ever since. or at least ever since there was radar .
shake the gin, maraschino liqueur, and lemon juice well with ice; then strain into a cocktail glass. garnish with a maraschino cherry, if desired .
but when the film opens with a magnificent aeronautical sequence that exudes tension, yet also calmness, you forget about wanting to delve into plot. the imagery, along with the tone of the opening track, evokes the sombre and awe - inspiring feeling that still warms the stomachs of anyone who has seen the wind rises. all the aviation cocktail needs is to set the film’s entire plot inside that small, private aircraft and director david r. higgins would have a hit on his hands. alas, the plane touches down and pilot, jack fisher (michael haskins) exits in search of the plot .
it’s hard to tell what to expect going into the aviation cocktail. the film’s trailer touts a tantalising 1950’s small - town familial set - up (“one part passion, two parts betrayal and a splash of blood”), laying out a dramatic tale of broken friendships and icy love lives; but it’s not exactly telling exactly what the film’s plot is .
i love your take on the use of the cdv, and the conventions of naming. i would note that your recipe called for london dry gin but listed plymouth (the only remaining producer of the “plymouth” style of gin, sweeter and decidedly more floral than a classic london dry), so the flavor and sweetness of the cocktail would be different than if one used the bombay dry

in addition to adding a nice violet floral note, the crème de violette lends its dark purple color to the drink. when mixed with gin and lemon juice, the drink turns a pale blue color, just like the sky. cocktail mystery: solved !
with its earthy herbaceous flavours, tequila makes for a both versatile and interesting cocktail base spirit. traditionally mixed with orange (think triple
when the first edition of ted haigh’s vintage spirits and forgotten cocktails came out in 2004, he mentioned that as great as the aviation was, he had had a ‘blue moon’ (an aviation plus crème de violette) which was better. we all waited until 2008 when rothman and winter re - introduced crème de violette to the us, and by then there were lots of reprints of cocktail books and we all had ensslin’s recipe in our hands. here is gary regan’s take on that moment – urltoken
hi, rhett, thanks for the comment, it really goes to the heart of the article .
the recipe concludes ,
adjust the proportions to your liking. garnish with the violet blossoms .
regulars come in to your bar for various reasons: their friends and colleagues go there. they enjoy the ambience. maybe they really like you and the other bartenders behind the bar. more than likely, they have a cocktail they really enjoy every time they sit at the bar. serving that cocktail and the others on the menu consistently is key to keeping your best patrons coming back again and again and is really quite simple. proper measuring using a jigger is paramount to creating consistency behind the bar .
the cast and crew endured freezing temperatures during the 17 day shoot, particularly during the graveyard showdown scene between beau kiger and connor boyle near the end of the film .
today you will find the aviation on lists of classic cocktails that should be experienced, though it still should not be expected that it can be ordered at any bar. despite being available again, creme de violette is not part of the average bar' s inventory, though there are some that are trying to revive the aviation and will create a fantastic version for you to taste .
every bottle of aviation gin is handcrafted in small 100 - case batches by a small, dedicated team of master distillers in portland, oregon .
the “yellow” aviation (1. 5 gin, . 75 lemon, . 5 maraschino) was a smash hit – in my life making instant believers out of cocktail skeptics. luxardo maraschino is great stuff, but easily overpowering and must be strictly measured or you will wind up with what harrington termed ‘a glass of pixie stix’
give the aviation a shot and see if you sink or soar. it’s one of those cocktails, patty and i can both agree on. i’m whiskey, she’s fruity, this one is right down the middle .
your comment about the “yellow” aviation being a good sour is an excellent reminder that we should evaluate cocktails on their intrinsic qualities, as you did with this one. anyone who has spent time with old bar manuals knows that just because a drink is a century old doesn’t mean it’s worth drinking; and as you point out, just because a cocktail isn’t the same as the “original” doesn’t mean it isn’t good. thanks for the reminder .
some of the citrusy gins make a fun variant in this cocktail, especially if you want to try upping the lemon nose and flavor without pushing up the sourness. i’ve used new amsterdam and bombay sapphire with good results, but there are many to play with .
one more paragraph, on behalf of the insane amount of people thanked in the credits (that usually means volunteers and donators). if you’re sensitive to details you may notice that one of the film’s hangar shots might be a reference to the big combo, but you’ll also know this isn’t its equal. still, if you’re having a lazy evening or something, it’s enjoyable enough; in that case i’d recommend a film noir double feature: the aviation cocktail, and something a little stronger .
the aviation cocktail has picked up accolades across the globe and for the most part it’s easy to see why: there are great visuals every now and then, alongside some interesting thematic exploration of post - wwii life – but for every great production choice and character moment there are about four others that are doa. the actors’ ranges are evidently there as, during select moments in the film, they all own the screen, but at other times it’s hard to believe we’re not watching a student film thanks to some weak camera angling and sound production .
so i’ll stick to the very narrow position that there seems little point in making an aviation without crème de violette. without it, the drink is (a) not charmingly blue; and (b) not deliciously, memorably tasty .
the violette adds to the nose, and brings additional sweetness and a depth of flavor to the drink. i do believe that a healthy proportion of lemon helps the drink, and experimentation has brought me around to the idea that it should be small, very cold, and emphatically sour. not 2: 1 sour, but noticably and bracingly sour. so here is the cold glass aviation :
the dynasty began with you ,

anyway, i’m trying to step up my cocktail game and this site has been very beneficial. i have been voraciously reading everything you, david wondrich, et al. have to write on the subject. i’m also enjoying amy stewart’s “the drunken botanist”. but, as subjective as cocktails are, you recipes always seem “just right” and in - line with my tastes. even a wondrich version of the aviation i found online omits the crème de violette, but after seeking out all the ingredients recently and following the recipe above, i can’t imagine omitting anything .
the aviation cocktail is smooth, flowery, assertive, yet sweet. like nothing you’ve ever tasted—so i honestly don’t know what to compare it to. the key ingredient is luxardo, maraschino liqueur. it adds a very subtle boozy, cherry finish. it’s worth picking up because it appears in so many other classic cocktails. if you don’t believe me, you can read a whole host of cocktails here .
one of these german - born bartenders was hugo ensslin, who authored recipes for mixed drinks in 1917, the last major cocktail book published before prohibition in 1920. the book was not all that well - known until it was recently reprinted .
without a precise flight plan, the first bartender / distiller partnership took off. through repeated trial and experimentation with 7 botanicals, ryan and christian finally landed on a democratic blend with juniper in the background. like all successful partnerships, none is overpowering or masking, but each plays a part in bringing out the best in all. aviation, a gin created to be so balanced and smooth, it can complement any cocktail or even fly solo .
the 1935 edition of the waldorf - astoria bar book says ,
americans, as a rule, drink partly for the taste, mostly for the effect .
last week i was in berlin for a bar show and attended a seminar on the german influence on american cocktails, lead by historians jared brown and anistatia miller. it turns out that many of the great cocktail book authors of the late - 1800’s and early 1900’s were of german origin .
combine all ingredients (except the cherry) in a cocktail shaker (affiliate) with a cup of ice. shake vigorously for 10 seconds and strain into a chilled martini glass. garnish with a maraschino cherry .
the macerate is then pumped into a stainless steel still along with pure water. steam jackets heat the macerate, the vapors go into a shotgun condenser, come into contact with the cold water, and the distillate forms .
personally, i was not impressed with either the rothman & winter or the “original” aviation and after buying two more different bottlings of crème de violette i can’t even remember what it tasted like. but i should dust off some bottles and investigate again – and try your recipe !

which is a way of saying that the ingredients of the aviation cocktail — plot threads, period details, character types — are all present, but could use some more mixing. the latter is a particular snag: we have three potentially strong characters in the fisher brothers and bob halloran, but the actors don’t seem to have been introduced to them properly; they play the surface details of tough cop, good guy, etc. without doing much beyond what we might expect from their first appearances. connor boyle as dale riley is a clear exception: given the news that his sister was killed by the opening - sequence murderer, he comes to regard the world with a sour look reminiscent of michael shannon — not quite angry because there’s no object for fury, but a touch more revengeful than simple moodiness. that’s multi - layered, interesting acting .

the more i experiment with cocktails from the 1900’s, the more i appreciate the 1900’s in general (seriously, hear me out). it’s amazing to think that a lot of our favorite cocktails we drink today have stood the rigorous test of time .
even bigger failed substitutions department: a bartender with no crème de violette served me an aviation that substituted blue curaçao. it was strikingly, garishly blue. it did not taste good. i won’t be doing that again .
the film was scheduled for a november shoot in the hopes that it would snow. thus, the majority of the film was shot around valentine, nebraska. but the blizzard scene and snowy aerials were shot with brandon eaton near denver, colorado during an actual snow storm .

is another altogether. the editing of the production is very well done but the content takes itself way too seriously. i completely understand that the intention wasn' t to pen a comedy, but at least a feeling of fun or freedom at times would have fit the bill rather nicely. not the case here though. there is absolutely none of that. from the opening scene to the very end we have a slow burning dramatic entity with no
iowa economic development director tom wheeler and five others in the department lost their jobs in the scandal, which included the purchase of luxury vehicles ineligible for the tax credits and a ladder reportedly rented for $ 1, 350. then - gov. chet culver suspended the program in 2009 and requested an investigation by the state auditor and attorney general .
this film starts off with the exciting hostage scene and then turns slow and melancholy as higgins dissects what his “heroes” are really like. along the way, the film finds a way to really get under your skin. it’s got a great noirish flavor, even though it’s set in the wide open spaces of nebraska. there are some great scenes of the characters standing in the emptiness of the countryside, with this vastness echoing the enormity of their own personal hell. the death of geoff hadley acts as a catalyst and starts henry and bob on the path to self destruction .
jack arrives on scene to find a posse led by his old friend bob halloran. upon learning that the girl is dead, a shootout takes place injuring the killer who is airlifted back to town. in the airplane the men decide to enact vigilante justice. they kill the murderer. this decision propels the men into a guilt fed downward spiral .
the question i pondered as i wrote this article was the likelihood that a home bar in the first decades of the 20th century would include maraschino, or just the more commonly requested basic additives like vermouth, curacao or triple sec, bitters, perhaps grenadine. it’s pure speculation—i have no idea where one would even start looking for stats on the subject—but speculation based on the marginalization of both maraschino and violette, and finally the complete disappearance altogether of the violette. at least maraschino had enough going for it that it stayed on the shelves; poor violette, with even fewer recipes to prop it up, the marketplace just didn’t support it .

this is a powerful drink, with three ounces of gin. with one and a half ounces of lemon juice and only a half ounce of combined sweet liqueurs, it’s a rather dry cocktail. if it’s not sweet enough for you, you could definitely bump up the amount of creme de violette or maraschino liqueur, or both to keep the flavor balanced. be sure to use a gin you like – bombay sapphire, hendrick’s and tanqueray ten are good choices .
this mix is simple, and in true old - fashioned style, it requires just a few ingredients. the problem is that the key to getting the stunning blue color is a rather elusive liqueur. often overlooked and rarely stocked, the creme de violette was revived with a 2007 release by rothman and winter .

how two innovators, prohibition, and juniper, lead to the first american craft gin .
at a party in seattle in 2005, bartender ryan magarian was introduced to
summer gin
by a friend from portland. struck by the subtlety of gin with less juniper, he recognized it as a movement away from traditional gin. ryan had a growing interest in classic, pre - prohibition cocktails, where the spirit is central and never masked, and this gin had the potential to be the perfect complement. he set off for portland to meet the distiller .

another aspect of the film that occasionally threw me was the inconsistent character portrayals. at times, the cast completely had my attention with some really outstanding chops! then, there were those few times the acting came off as hollow and scripted. clearly the main cast was capable of some stellar performances; which they gave at times. other times however, it almost felt as if the shoot was almost over, everyone wanted to go home and they simply shot, wrapped and left. these instances were few and only slightly impacted my rating of an otherwise excellent film .
nebraska could join 40 states that try to lure film production crews with the promise of financial incentives .
the ¾ - ounce portion of lemon juice is the “hot days” version, a bit more sour and brightly refreshing on sticky summer evenings. lemons are highly variable, so as you experiment with the proportions, you may want to work in a little simple syrup to balance the flavors without overloading the liqueurs; maraschino and violette can be overbearing, and i’ve found that these relatively small amounts—less than you’d find in many published versions of the drink—work well for both flavor and color. (i haven’t found a drink yet that is improved by adding more than ¼ ounce of luxardo, it’s fairly strong. )

correction: an earlier version of this story stated the film was cast and crewed by coloradans. some crew and actors were also from nebraska. the promotional trailer was shot around denver, with additional filming in nebraska .
and as for the rest…you know, it’s pretty good for what it is — family man jack fisher is pitched to us at the level of his swept - back hair, charming smile and aviator sunglasses, but at least these are all fairly appealing. the 1959 which surrounds him is a little harder to swallow — the clothes look like costumes, while the roads and curbsides are always empty but for one or two period cars. i know this is because a low - budget production has to borrow things that can’t be worn down or broken in, but the result feels a little uncanny — a world with no marks from being lived in .

i' ve already written about the cinematography of this production so now i' m going to pick at a few other aspects of this film. not everything is perfect. being a moody drama is one thing; the pacing of
“it took careful maturation – in three different woods over a 35 - year period – to release the full potential of this whisky, ” says master distiller richard paterson of the venerable highland single - malt whisky maker’s limited - edition the dalmore 35 (£3, 500, see first picture), available from october 7. paterson, considered a “walking whiskipedia”, has overseen production of 1, 000 bottles of the satinwood and amber - gold whisky – each in a specially made baccarat crystal decanter (see second picture) bearing the dalmore’s royal stag emblem, encased in a sleek wooden box .
there are “relatively few applications” for maraschino? that’s not true at all. it’s an integral ingredient in tons of cocktails, from pre - prohibition like this one and the martinez, to lots of awesome modern ones, like the red hook…
and controversy. there is a school of thought that says that if crème de violette is available, the drink certainly should be made with crème de violette. there is another faction that declares the currently available crème de v “not good enough, ” and they’ll stick with the well - published, long standard violette - free version, thank you very much .
the film was shot in and around valentine, ne with colorado cast and crew, along with local resources and talent .
higgins, working with editor patrick behan, tells the story creatively and efficiently. the actors are given room to breathe. the film is beautifully shot by cinematographer mark rutledge. technical aspects (sound, sets, etc .) are excellent for the $ 1 million budget. beau kiger (sheriff henry) and leah lockhart (alice, his wife), stand out as multi - dimensional characters with a lot of hurt, and not much hope, left in them. they bring a lot of power to their scenes, saving a few (unhappy wife, alcoholic husband) from turning cliche. michael haskins (jack fisher, who runs the local air service), and brandon eaton (sinister salesman bob halloran) bring good balance to the ensemble, although they don' t come off as the scarred wwii veterans they are supposed to be.
