This riff on the classic cocktail, the aviation, swaps out crème de violette and gin in favor of Trä Kál, an botanical and herbaceous spirit from Patagonia,.“It’s sort of like an eau de vie made with apples and pears and herbs,” says Hayley Teague, the bartender at Hathorne in Nashville. For the rose water spritz, which adds a floral nose to the drink, she prefers using brands like Cortas or Fee Brothers.
