Aviation

The aviation is a vintage gin cocktail that’s gone in and out of fashion over the years.  It gets its gorgeous lavender hue from Créme de Violette, a liqueur made from Alpine violets :)

Rhubarb Elderflower Gin Cooler

Made with rhubarb simple syrup (you can make it yourself!) elderflower cordial, and gin.  I love the rosemary garnish.

The Last Word

A gorgeous concoction of Chartreuse, Luxardo, lime, and, again, gin!  You won’t find this color in too many cocktails.
