Why Can't We Quit the Aviation?
Briefly

Arvid Brown's journey with the Aviation cocktail led him to innovate with floral flavors, creating his own version, the Exit Rose, using rose liqueur instead of crème de violette.
Despite historically being dismissed as floral and artificial tasting, the Aviation cocktail is experiencing a resurgence in popularity, as bartenders look for inventive new takes.
Brown acknowledges the divisiveness of the Aviation, admitting that while many bartenders dislike its traditional build, the drink's unique profile offers opportunities for creative reinterpretation.
At Room for Improvement, Brown's reimagined Aviation takes form as a menu staple, highlighting the continual evolution of classic cocktails amidst changing taste preferences.
