If there’s one kind of history lesson we like, it’s the gin-based one. Especially if comes in the form of a beverage-based salute to the pioneers of that impressive feat called flight. The luxuriously purple-hued and violet-imbued Aviation cocktail is a century-old nod to those early aviation mavericks and it just so happens to be a favourite of ours. To celebrate it, we paired that sophisticated violet with delicate lavender and deliciously acidic apples for an elegant and floral London dry gin. So now that we’ve given you such a mouth-watering chronicle, how about an apple for the teacher?
