Flight To East Asia Recipe

Flight to east asia is an aviation riff from the inimitable amy traynor at moody mixologist. The star here is yuzu, an asian cousin of lemon with a more floral, herbal flavor. Yuzu juice is more opaque than lemon, and mixing it with crme de violette would turn the drink a greenish-gray so traynor instead adds the violette at the end, allowing it to sink to the bottom of the drink for a beautiful skyline effect. This also has the effect of making the drink sweeter as you sip it, which is a nice change of pace from a standard aviation.
