This take on the Aviation celebrates the history of the British temperance movement. Kind of. I’ve used Blood Tonic from Fitzpatrick’s in Rawtenstall, the UK’s last surviving temperance bar, instead of the Aviation’s crème de violette; it’s widely available, but if you can’t get hold of any, use a dash of Vimto cordial instead.
50ml good gin
10ml maraschino
5ml Fitzpatrick’s Blood Tonic
5ml sugar syrup
20ml lemon juice
Put everything in a cocktail mixer, shake over ice, and strain into a chilled cocktail or small wine glass.
