La Central

The Aviation is a classic gin cocktail created in the early 20th century, traditionally made with gin, lemon juice, maraschino liqueur, and crème de violette. Its pale lavender color and delicate floral character made it unusual for its time.

The cocktail is credited to Hugo Ensslin, head bartender at the Hotel Wallick in New York, who published the recipe in Recipes for Mixed Drinks in 1916. The name “Aviation” reflects the era’s fascination with the emerging world of flight.

✈️ A little history in every sip. 🍸

The Hugo Spritz is one of Europe’s most refreshing aperitifs. It was created in 2005 by bartender Roland Gruber in the Alpine region of South Tyrol, Italy. Looking for a lighter alternative to the classic Aperol Spritz, he combined elderflower liqueur, Prosecco, sparkling water, fresh mint, and lime, creating a floral, crisp, and aromatic cocktail that quickly became a summer favorite across Italy and the rest of Europe.

What makes the Hugo Spritz unique is its delicate balance of floral sweetness and fresh herbal notes, making it perfect as a pre-dinner drink or a leisurely afternoon cocktail.

Fun fact: The name “Hugo” doesn’t have a special meaning: it was simply a name Gruber thought sounded memorable and playful. Ironically, that simple choice became the identity of one of Italy’s most beloved modern cocktails. 🍾

The Bee’s Knees 🐝

Created during the Prohibition era in the 1920s, the Bee’s Knees is a timeless gin cocktail that proved great drinks don’t need to be complicated. Its name comes from a popular slang expression of the time meaning “the best.”

Legend has it that the combination of fresh lemon juice and honey syrup was used to soften the harsh taste of homemade gin often consumed during Prohibition. The result was a bright, silky cocktail that balanced botanicals, citrus, and natural sweetness.

Today, the Bee’s Knees remains a modern classic: simple, elegant, and a perfect reminder that sometimes the finest cocktails are built from just a few exceptional ingredients.
