Aviation
an alcoholic cocktail based on gin, maraschino cherry liqueur, Crème de Violette violet liqueur and lemon juice. The cocktail is so named, most likely because of its silvery-gray color, which is reminiscent of the sky and the rapidly developing aviation at the time of the invention of the cocktail (early 20th century). Classified as an all day cocktail. Included in the list of official cocktails of the International Bartenders Association (IBA), category "Unforgettable"
