Tequila Aviation
Review:
Tequila replaces gin in this Margarita-like riff on an Aviation cocktail – 'Arte de Volar' is Spanish for 'Art of Flying'. As with the original gin-based classic, notes of violet subtly influence with citrus juice freshening and adding balance.
History:
Created in February 2017 by yours truly at the Cabinet Room, London, England. I modified this recipe in May 2020 by switching from lemon to lime juice and from maraschino liqueur to lavender syrup. A move further away from the Aviation but to a better drink.
My original 2017 Arte de Volar recipe:
1¾ Blanco tequila
½ Maraschino liqueur
¼ Crème de violet
½ Freshly squeezed lemon juice
Alcohol content:
- 1.5 standard drinks
- 19.41% alc./vol. (38.82° proof)
- 20.9 grams of pure alcohol
