Floral cocktails
Floral cocktails bring perfume and lift to the glass, often using gin, vodka, liqueurs or tea to add blossom, herb and citrus notes without tipping into heavy sweetness. The Aviation shows that balance beautifully, with gin and violet-like brightness, while the Lavender French 75 adds a softer, more fragrant take on the classic sparkling format. In this list you can compare strength, base spirit, serving style and flavour direction, from crisp aperitifs to more delicate, aromatic serves.
