The Aviation Cocktail. This drink is an adaptation of a recipe by Hugo R. It calls for 1/3 Lemon Juice, 2/3 El Bart Gin, 2 dashes Maraschino, and 2 dashes Crème de Violette. The preparation involves shaking these ingredients well in a mixing glass with cracked ice, followed by straining and serving.
