Preparation

  1. 1

    Chill Your Glass

    Begin by chilling your cocktail glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and setting it aside while you prepare the cocktail.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz of Aviation Gin, 0.5 oz of Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur, 0.5 oz of Creme de Violette, and 0.75 oz of fresh lemon juice.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the shaker with ice, ensuring it is not overfilled, to allow for proper shaking.

  4. 4

    Shake

    Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.

  5. 5

    Strain

    Remove the ice from your cocktail glass and strain the mixture from the shaker into the chilled glass.

  6. 6

    Garnish

    Express the oils of a lemon twist over the drink and drop it into the glass as garnish.
