This low-ABV version of the classic Aviation still calls for Maraschino liqueur and Creme de Violette--ingredients not everyone may have on hand. But if you can wing it, consider purchasing a small bottle of each. The results (along with that beautiful color) will be worth it--bright, complex and smoother than the real thing. You’ll definitely be wanting more than one. Please fasten your seatbelts and thank you for flying Ritual Airways. Cheers!
