The Aviation cocktail is an elegant and aromatic drink that originated during the classic cocktail era in America in the early 20th century. It was first recorded in 1916 by Hugo Ensslin, a German-born bartender working at the famous Hotel Wallick in New York City. Ensslin's cocktail book is considered the first known written source of the Aviation recipe.

The name of the cocktail is inspired by the era of aviation, which was booming at the time. The early 1900s was a time when airplanes and aviation fascinated people. The Aviation cocktail is so named because its slightly purplish color evokes the shades of the sky.
