History

Tequila replaces gin in this Margarita riff on an Aviation. Violet notes are subtle, citrus juice adds balance.

In May 2020, this recipe was adjusted by substituting lime juice for lemon juice and lavender syrup for maraschino liqueur. This change moves the drink further from the Aviation but results in a superior cocktail. The original 2017 recipe for Arte de Volar was: 1¾ oz Blanco tequila, ½ oz Maraschino liqueur, ¼ oz Crème de violet, ½ oz Freshly squeezed lemon juice.
