Aviation Cloud

The Aviation Cloud is a classic cocktail that embodies a perfect fusion of citrus and floral notes. Its pale sky color, reminiscent of a clear day, is thanks to the addition of creme de violette, a subtly sweet and floral liqueur. This timeless cocktail recipe, dating back to 1916, brings together the refreshing tartness of lemon juice and the delicate sweetness of maraschino liqueur, creating a harmonious balance of flavors with a gentle kick of alcohol.
