The Aviation cocktail, named for its sky-blue color reminiscent of the early days of aviation, was created in the early 20th century. It features gin, maraschino liqueur, crème de violette, and lemon juice. The crème de violette gives the drink its unique color and floral notes, making it stand out among classic gin cocktails. After nearly disappearing from bars, it made a comeback in the early 2000s as bartenders revived forgotten recipes, and it is now cherished by cocktail enthusiasts for its historical charm and unique taste.

Background and Origins of

Aviation

The Apple Spritzer is a refreshing, non-alcoholic beverage that has gained popularity for its light and crisp taste. Ideal for hot summer days or as a palate cleanser during meals, the Apple Spritzer offers a perfect blend of sweet apple juice and sparkling water, providing a delightful drink for any occasion. The origins of the Apple Spritzer can be traced back to Europe, where spritzers, in general, have been enjoyed for centuries. Traditionally, a spritzer is a combination of wine and soda water, creating a light and effervescent drink. The Apple Spritzer, however, replaces wine with apple juice, making it a family-friendly and alcohol-free alternative. The Apple Spritzer has become particularly popular in countries like Austria and Germany, where it is often referred to as "Apfelschorle." This drink is a staple in many households, cafes, and restaurants, appreciated for its simplicity and refreshing qualities.
