Finally, another original inspired by a classic cocktail, the Aviation.
Recipe by Mixologist Sean Norris
Once again, we’re forgoing gin in favor of a great alternative—Pisco, a pure grape brandy from Peru and Chile (we’re using the Chilean version). What I love about this spirit is how its bold floral and fruity profile never gets lost when combined with other ingredients.
This recipe is what we call “crushable”—be careful because it goes down smoothly! The René Rouge is a rich cherry liqueur that adds body and depth. A touch of Combier Rose brings the Pisco’s floral notes into focus. And the agave nectar curbs the acid of the lemon juice. Like I said, smooth.
What if the flowers you love to use in beverages aren’t always available locally? This is where we benefit from using liqueurs. Combier is a fantastic French producer, operating since 1834. You’ll find a wide variety of options such as the Elderflower, Kümmel and Rose.
Why not look up local farms or gardens in your area to source ingredients? Producers will be excited to share the fruits of their labor—and you’ll support them in the process. Cheers! CS
