I bought a One The Rocks brand premixed bottle of Aviation hoping to see if i like it enough to buy the ingredients. But it has a terrible nai polish remover after taste. At first its very, floral and pleasant but its the cheap plastic bottle vodka, flavor that harshes my mellow.

Is this just how aviations are or this just the On The Rocks style aviation

Edit:had the bottle. Tastes like flowers smell

    No it shouldn’t. It’s likely the cheap/unfresh ingredients in the mixer. Buy the ingredients separate and always use fresh citrus! The taste is truly really worth the effort.

    They often self half-sized bottles of all these ingredients so you don’t have to commit to big full big bottles

    Alternatively, hit up your local craft cocktail bar and have them make you a true one so you can test if you enjoy the taste enough to make at home.
