Is the amount called for Crème de Violette above correct? How does one measure 0.04 oz? I read the Measurements section and did not find any guidance. Thanks in advance.

Amazing cocktail, I made it with "The King's Ginger" from my beloved store Berry Bros. & Rudd. The tiny splash of violette really goes a long way ...

Homemade ginger syrup w a splash of commercial ginger beer for the more brewed ginger flavour. Very pleasant indeed! Very recognisably an aviation with added south East Asian kick! As usual with local lemons had to tone it down for my palate. The touch of violette was spot on for balance. Can definitely see myself making this again.

If I don't have the correct jigger, approximately how many dashes would equal 1.25ml?

I had empress gin on hand, it was a beautiful with floral notes. Perfect for a cold winters day to reminisce about summer. Wondering if anyone has added some sparkling wine? Thinking it may elevate to a more party forward cocktail. Kind of like a French 75.

Lovely mix of flavors, nice and floral despite how little creme de violette. Actually happened to have some homemade violet simple syrup on hand so used that as well. Was good at the full lemon juice but ultimately kicked it down in half to be more my preference.

I found that despite the tiny amount of Violette, it overpowered the ginger - added an extra 5ml ginger; but then again, I love ginger

increduble drink! Ugly color! Sadly, my creme de violette’s color is this ghastly black purple. Drink it heartily just with your eyes closed
