What is Biggles Aviation?
The Biggles Aviation cocktail is a refined twist on the classic Aviation, layering crisp London Dry gin with bright lemon juice, soft floral crème de violette, and a gentle warmth from ginger liqueur. Balanced with simple syrup, this cocktail lands right between elegant and playful, the kind of drink that feels equally at home in a speakeasy or a polished home bar.
If you enjoy floral gin cocktails with a citrus backbone, this one fits beautifully alongside classics like the Aviation. It’s smooth, aromatic, and surprisingly approachable, even for guests who claim they “don’t usually like gin.” Funny how that works.
Don't forget to see what other drinks you can make with the ingredients you already have in your bar.
Why You'll Love It?
- Perfect balance of citrus, floral, and gentle spice
- Feels classic but still fresh and modern
- Great introduction to crème de violette cocktails
