Benjamin & Blum Aviation Cocktail | 200ML

Cocktails can be a bit of faff. It's always more fun when there's someone making one for you. Well, now you can have all the sophistication of a proper cocktail bar in the comfort of your own home with Benjamin & Blum ready-mixed cocktails. This one, the Aviation, was invented by Hugo Ensslin, head bartender at the Hotel Wallick in New York, in the early twentieth century and named after those magnificent men and women in their flying machines. It gets its trademark colour from liqueur de violette. The other ingredients are British craft gin, maraschino, lemon, and white tea. Serve very cold in a martini glass with a squeeze of fresh lemon and an anecdote about Amelia Earhart.

Distillery Information

Have you ever wanted to enjoy a bar-quality cocktail at home, whether it's a Manhattan or a Martinez, but don't want to have to bother getting all the necessary bottles together (or buying them all individually) and then deal with the fuss of measuring, mixing, muddling and whatnot (or else work out how to blackmail a bartender into coming to your house to make them)? Professionally crafted pre-bottled cocktails could be the solution you've always dreamt of! Top bars such as 69 Colebrook Row, Purl, Bramble and White Lyan have been bottling their own drinks to chill and serve when the time is right (i.e. when you order a drink) for a number of years now - following in the footsteps of legendary bartenders like Thomas Handy and Jerry Thomas - and now this wizardry and alchemy is coming to your home. Made using quality ingredients, expertly measured and mixed, the Pre-Bottled Cocktails you'll find below are the absolute real deal. Stupendously easy to enjoy, fail-safe instructions for the perfect serve can usually be found on the bottle. Not only are they great for enjoying a top quality cocktail with little-to-no hassle, they're perfect for parties where you would rather be talking to your guests than mixing all of their drinks. There's even more to this though - is it possible that cocktails can actually improve in the bottle? Well, yes, actually. Over months and years, cocktails can be 'bottle-aged', becoming more complex, more integrated and smoother. This smoothness is something that mixologist Tony Conigliaro of 69 Colebrook Row has analysed using gas chromatography. That's why you'll find that each of The Handmade Cocktail Company's bottles carry a vintage displaying their year of creation.
