Tonight's Cocktail (7/12/12): Aviation

We are getting ready for a trip to Indy for a cousin’s wedding.  Coming from travel, I thought it would be a good idea to be picked up at the airport.  Moral of the story: traffic is a nightmare during rush hour. Whodathunk in Detroit?

I’ve always wanted to eat at the Westin in the Detroit Airport and this gave me an excuse.  I was pleasantly surprised to see a great cocktail selection and an ok equipped bar.

I settled on an Aviation.  A classic combo of gin, maraschino liqueur, lime juice and creme de violette.  They don’t stock creme de violette, which isn’t a surprise, but it was still tasty.  I do love me some Luxardo.
