SOSO AVIATION
Dear Cocktail Lovers,
We promised you a little surprise for January 22nd at RUBY and here it is: a special cocktail at a special price.
Every truly classic cocktail is a study in exquisite simplicity, both in recipe and presentation. The AVIATION is the prince of all cocktails and has no modern equivalent… until now! RUBY has taken it to the next level.
The owners and their talented bar staff have designed a special cocktail just for SO SOPHISTICATED and it’s nothing short of spectacular! It has equal parts quality and simplicity, with a dash of controversy! It’s a champagne cocktail appropriately named SOSO AVIATION, a twist if you will on the classic AVIATION.
This special cocktail SOSO AVIATION can be obtained for one night only at RUBY, an establishment where the vanishing art of mixology is still pursued with zeal, if not fanaticism. SOSO AVIATION is a modern take on a timeless classic: The Aviation, which they’ve jazzed up with Champagne…
It’s a Champagne Cocktail with Plymouth gin, Maraschino liqueur, sugar syrup, and a wee bit of lemon juice. All in all a dry, sophisticated cocktail – a bit boozy but wonderfully moreish (so good that you want more!) This is an incredibly elegant drink and If you think you don’t like gin, this cocktail will change your mind! You will love the subtle cherry flavor the Maraschino provides, and the way the flavors balance to create such a crisp, enjoyable drink. A wonderfully subtle balance of sweet and sour, with the floral notes of the gin and Maraschino working together sublimely.
Despite only containing a few ingredients, it has a very complex, yet very balanced flavor, however it's the maraschino that makes this cocktail stand tall. Maraschino is a liqueur that gains its flavor from Dalmation Marasca cherries. During production the whole cherry, including the pits, seeds and stems, is used which lends an almost almond like taste to the spirit. It has a fresh, slightly dry, bittersweet, peppery nuttiness taste to it which is very different from regular cherry liqueurs, and somewhat hard to describe... Ask for it by name!
SOSO AVIATION kr. 79
Regular Ruby Champagne Cocktail price kr. 99 ENJOY!
