Wheels-Up Cocktail Recipe


Our Wheels-Up cocktail is a spin on the classic Aviation cocktail traditionally made with gin, maraschino liqueur, crème de violette, and lemon juice. We used J.T. Meleck Vodka instead of gin and the result is a tasty and fun cocktail perfect for Mardi Gras celebrations big and small.
