History

A striking, floral, pale aquamarine-yellow Corpse Reviver No.2 riff (crème de violette replaces Lillet Blanc), resembling an Aviation.

This cocktail is adapted from a 2007 recipe by Richard Boccato, who worked at Little Branch bar in Tribeca, New York City, USA. The original recipe used equal parts of gin, triple sec, Crème de violette, and lemon juice, each measuring ¾oz.
