om namo venkatesya is another rare film for devotees and award winning performance of nagarjuna and terrific direction by raghavendra rao does not disappoint .
period dramas are hot in telugu cinema these days . a month after balakrishna ' s gautamiputra satakarni , superstar nagarjuna ' s devotional drama om namo venkatesaya is in theatres now . here ' s our review .
watching om namo venkatesaya is like getting an accommodation in tirumala for a week or so , to get a glimpse of lord sri venkateswara , who is touted as the richest hindu god in the world in terms of donation and wealth . more than a film , om namo venkatesaya seems to be a mixture of slogans , history and religious stories , documented in 2 . 5 long hours , for god knows what reason .
om namo venkatesaya telugu movie director by k . raghavendra rao and producer by a . mahesh reddy , girish reddy . nagarjuna ' s another devotional movie as nagarjuna ' s role in this movie as hathi ram baba . lead roles starring in this movie by akkineni nagarjuna , anushka shetty and pragya jaiswal . om namo venkatesaya telugu movie under the banner of sai krupa entertainments . cinematography by s . gopal reddy and writer by jk bharavi .
actors anushka and nagarjuna will play austere devotees of lord venkateswara in k . raghavendra rao’s upcoming film , om namo venkatesaya . pragya jaiswal plays an interesting role of the woman in baba hathiram’s life , before he embarks on his devotional journey .
for the past few years , veteran k . raghavendra rao has confined himself to making devotional films . he does so again with om namo venkatesaya , with nagarjuna in the lead as he was in raos annamayya , sriramadasu and shiridi sai .
bottom - line : ' om namo venkatesaya ' is the story of hathi rama baba , and his connection with tirumala temple . nagarjuna , visuals and sourabh jain as lord venkateshwara shine in the film . good watch for those who like devotional movies .
star hero akkineni nagarjuna and legendary filmmaker k . raghavendra rao are known for delivering devotional hits like annamayya , sri ramdasu and shirdi sai . the hit combination is set to weave magic again with yet another devotional outing om namo venkatesaya . after a huge round of promotions , om namo venkateshaya is all set to hit the screens today . lets us see if the hit combination of nag krr repeats the magic or not .
akkineni nagarjuna is a master when it comes to doing devotional films . once again , he is back with a very interesting film called om namo venkatesaya . directed by the legendary raghavendra rao , this film has hit the screens today . let’s see how it is .
akkineni nagarjuna is a master when it comes to doing devotional films . once again , he is back with a very interesting film called om namo venkatesaya . directed by the legendary raghavendra rao , this film has hit the screens today . lets see how it is .
in om namo venkatesaya , we have saurabh raj essaying vishnu and it ' s safe to say that we finally have a replacement to fill in ntr ' s shoes . the portions between nagarjuna and saurabh play out pretty well . music and songs by mm keeravani take us back to that era , especially the song kaliyuga vaikuntapuri .
story wise , the film has similarities with annamayya as the context here in om namo is also about a devotee . there are certain scenes where the emotions do not carry out well between lord venkateswara and his wives .
the film is set in the 18th century . rama gets the privilege of becoming the administrator of tirumala , who is also responsible for the induction of the famous tirumala prasad and nitya kalyanam . the rest of om namo venkatesaya narrates several incidents that made rama transform into hathiram bhavaji , who , we believe , has his own mutt in tirumala .
verdict : an excellent addition to the devotional cinema genre om namo venkatesaya is a biography of baba hadiram , one of the greatest devotees of lord venkateswara swami . directed by k . raghavendra rao , the role of baba hadiram is enacted by akkineni nagarjuna . the expectations from this movie have been decent as it comes with the super hit combina . . .
if you ' re into spiritualism , om namo venkatesaya is a must watch , as the film itself seemed to have been made for a particular sect ; the ones who visit tirumala twice a year , if not more . the audience stands up twice inside the hall . not only for the national anthem before the film , but out of devotion too at the end .
as per the latest reports , jagapathi babu has been roped in by veteran filmmaker k raghavendra rao to play the character of a king in “om namo venkatesaya” . this is the first time for him to essay a king in his two - decade long career . nagarjuna is playing the role of hathiram baba . saurabh raj who is well versed in playing devotional characters in hindi television soap operas is playing the role of lord venkateswara .
om namo venkatesaya movie review : nagarjuna is the king in performing a devotional role and the direction brahma k . raghavendra rao is the master in making devotional movies . their combination was , is , will be a hit whenever they work together . this time it is the great bhakta of lord venkateswara swamy which we can see on the screens . before this movie , we saw nagarjuna in ‘shirdi sai’ and ‘ramadasu’ in a devotional character .
“as this is the biopic of baba hathiram , raghavendra rao wants to ensure that he covers all facets of his life . not a lot of information is available about him , but he has done a great deal of research . pragya’s old world charm and ability to perform were the key clinchers for her to bag the role , ” reveals a source . om namo venkatesaya , produced by a . mahesh reddy , is set to release in the first quarter of 2017 .
when everybody was stunned to see nagarjuna perform the way he did in oopiri , the superstar takes things a notch higher and totally owns om namo venkatesaya . probably , this is one of nag’s best performances to date and the way he plays the emotional devotee of lord venkateswara will mesmerize you completely . be it his longing to meet the lord to his facial expressions , nag takes you on an emotional journey . the way he performs during the climax is just spell binding .
here one more devotional movie combination of nagarjuna and k . raghavendrarao ' s named
om namo venkateshaya
. music composed by m . m . keeravani , in this movie main lead role by akkineni nagarjuna playing as ' hathiram baba ' , heroine as anushka shetty . it ' s a devotional movie , this movie has been produced by a . mahesh reddy .
after what was expected from its teaser , om namo venkatesaya narrates the story of hathiram bhavaji , a saint , who became an ardent devotee of venkatesa . at first , we see a young rama ( nagarjuna ) asking his preceptor ( played by actor sai kumar ) about means which can let one see god for real . to boost his belief , the sage cites the famous quote ' matha pitha guru deivam ' . cut to present , we see a teenage rama performing rituals in a forest . struck by rama ' s spirituality , lord vishnu disguises himself as a boy and interrupts his rites .
being a master filmmaker , raghavendra rao unveils the story of hathi ram baba in a way that is very commercial and easily understood to all . the film is filled with superb visuals and raghavendra rao takes the film to another lever . pragya jaiswal looks gorgeous and plays her role well . rao ramesh once again does the villain’s job well . the climax of om namo is quite gripping and has been narrated on a very emotional note and will surely go down quite well with the family audience .
when devotional films are considered to be a huge risk in today’s day and age , nagarjuna and raghavendra rao take us on an emotional story of an ardent devotee in a simple yet entertaining manner . nagarjuna gives an award winning performance as hathi ram baba and holds the film completely . breezy narration , good performances , and feel good scenes give this film a sacred feeling altogether . if you ignore the predictable story line of what happens in all devotional films , on namo venkatesaya is a film which will be loved the family audience .

rama ( nagarjuna ) and lord venkateswara or balaji ( saurabh jain ) as his devotee rama calls him , are seated overlooking a precipice , playing a game of dice ( pachikalu ) . the lord has lost to his devotee a few times earlier and this time , has arrived with his own dice and with garuda ( a brief role by ajay ) who monitors the game . the result is no different . the lord loses all his jewellery which he stakes . eventually , the temple priests notice the lord’s idol bereft of jewellery .
soon , rama finds himself cornered . no one buys his argument that he played pachikalu with the lord himself and won those jewels . how rama proves he’s no ordinary devotee and earns the name hathiram is a story one hears in tirumala .
director k . raghavendra rao narrates this story with the help of writer j . k bharavi , taking cinematic liberties .
rama , as legend has it , was a reformist devotee who had to clean up the functioning of the temple . in the cinematic version , this allows for rao ramesh to play govindarajulu , a corrupt and powerful temple dharmadhikari . the clash between rama and govindarajulu , rama setting up an ashram and with persuasion setting things right in the temple premises is well narrated .
nagarjuna has been on this devotional path before , in annamayya , sri ramadasu and shirdi sai . he doesn’t falter in his portrayal of rama . his journey is aided by krishnamma , a goda devi or andal - inspired fictional character played by anushka shetty . she’s a treat to watch . she wants rama to convey the essence of sri venkateswara mahatyam to devotees . this part of the film feels like reading amar chitra katha , with nuggets explaining the reason behind certain practices diligently followed in tirumala . through brief anecdotes explained through a song , you get the history of varaha swamy , venkateswara swamy kalyanam , what the lord’s debt to kubera signifies and much more .
the story unfolds in an aesthetic setting with gopal reddy’s cinematography , kiran kumar manne’s art direction and visual effects coming together beautifully . m . m . keeravani’s background score and songs like akhilanda koti are the perfect foil for this devotional .
however , a few niggles crop up now and then . the romantic songs seem so out of place that you want to wish them away . so is the case with the comic interlude involving brahmanandam and prudhvi . vennela kishore’s part thankfully blends with the narrative .
pragya jaiswal makes a brief appearance as rama’s fiancée . she has prayed for years for rama’s return and tells him about all the rituals she’s been following . soon after , in the scene where she lets rama follow his heart , it all happens in a few seconds . pragya plays it well , but somehow , this scene seems rushed through .
watch the film for nagarjuna who comes up with another memorable performance . as you watch the story of a devotee who puts his love for the lord above everything , it might make you go a little deeper and understand faith beyond rituals .

this show hasn ' t started yet . check back soon for rotten tomatoes scores .
should not compare with annamayya or sriramadasu . go to theater without keeping those movies in mind and then you will realize how good it is . watched twice .
the film is a biography based on the life and times of baba hathiram , the 18th century devotee of lord venkateshwara .
right from his childhood days , ram ( nagarjuna ) takes upon a journey to make contact with the eternal powers of the god . he joins the ashram of padmananda swamy ( sai kumar ) in tirumala and gets enlightened about lord venkateswara and his spiritual powers . to seek more divinity , he reaches the main temple in tirumala and starts praying for the lord .
god answers his prayers as lord venkateswara himself appears before him and acknowledges his sincerity . during the same time , there are many other criminal factors that ram needs to face in the temple town . what are those problems ? what kind of relation does ram share with lord venkateswara ? how did he become hathi ram baba ? and where do krishnamma ( anuska ) and pragya jaiswal feature in this entire set up ? to know answers to these questions , you need to watch the film on the big screen .
so much was said when saurabh raj jain was roped in to play the lord venkateswara . but let us tell you that no one could have played the role better than him . the way the young actor brings divinity to his character is superb and his chemistry with nag throughout the film is just amazing . anushka gets a good role and does decently well in her character .
jagapathi babu’s character looks out of place and is the only disturbance in the film . his role and a song with anushka should have been chopped off to make things better . the first part of the second half has some slow pace as thing get bogged down a bit .
the film is super rich on the visual side . a special mention should go to the special effects team for showcasing tirumala and the surrounding areas in top notch mode . camera work is astonishing and brings a divine light to the film . keeravani’s music and background score are supremely impressive and elevate the film completely . editing is decent except for the jagapathi babu episode .
coming to the director k raghavendra rao , he once proves that no one can beat him when it comes to making devotional films . his greatness lies in the way he narrates the story of less known hathi ram baba in a way that would not be loud and bore today’s audience . the nag - raghavendra rao combo once again clicks big time and proves that old is always gold .

the film traces the story of ram , who comes down to tirumala all the way from north india , in search of god . at the abode of lord venkateswara , he contemplates for years on end on the advice of a gnani ( sai kumar impresses ) . the ' tapas ' is interrupted by the god himself who impersonates as a kid , whom ram shoos away out of ignorance .
ram once again receives god ' s call in his dream and this time , he has the guidance of both his guru and krishnamma ( played by anushka ) .
he soon becomes famous among the holy place ' s residents and pilgrims as he enlightens them with his puranic talks . under his aegis , the tirumala rituals attain their true glory even as his childhood mission of having a ' darshan ' of lord balaji ( saurabh jain ) and playing the game of dice with him remains unfulfilled .
what happens when the lord sits down to play ' pachikalu ' with ram ? what is his idea behind choosing him to convey a message to the seekers ? what travails and tribulations does ram baba face in the process ? answers to these questions are found in the second half .
teaming up with writer jk bharavi once again after ' annamayya ' and ' sri ramadasu ' , k raghavendra rao delivers a pack full of expected elements . the writer supposedly had no much material to draw from , not only because hathi ram baba ( whose tryst with lord balaji the film is about ) has not left a body of literary work , but also because his claim to ( whatever little ) fame owes to him playing a game of dice with his favourite god and about which nothing much is said to be known .
at one level , thus , a script developed from such an anecdote can only be as good ( or as bland ) , as imaginative ( or as predictable ) , as novel ( or as hackneyed ) as the writer / director . to a large extent , this film ( ' onv ' ) doesn ' t throw up unheard - of philosophizing or never - seen - before godly behaviour . you get a list of do ' s and dont ' s when you are to tirumala , delivered sans much cinematic drama .
the lord ' s wives ( sridevi and bhoodevi , ably played by vimala raman and asmitha , respectively ) are depicted in the same way as they were in old - time movies : they argue with their husband , they smile like kids when he changes over into something else , they question his indifference and more . then there is a jagapathi babu - anushka duet , completely out of place , when they don ' t share the kind of relationship that mohan babu and roja did in ' annamayya ' .
nagarjuna as ram baba exudes ' bhakthi rasa ' as if it was his second nature . a stunning performance generally , it reaches a crescendo in the scenes involving the lord ( saurabh jain is tall , handsome , emotes well with his sinless face , is confident , child - like ) .
there was a lot of hyping up about the dice - playing scenes involving the two characters , but the conversations are just about ok . even after the ' pachikalu ' is said to be analogous to our ' karmas ' , the philosophy is left untouched later . instead , we get a passing reference in the form of a proverb to what god intends to teach through his perennial debt servicing .
if there is one actress in this generation who can get into the skin of any character she plays , it has to be anushka ( as krishnamma , she is remarkable ) . when she is saying ' muddu ga ' about god , she turns into girl - like . when she is singing hymns of god , she turns into a detached ' bhaktin ' . but it ' s a disappointment that , in a throwback to yesteryear cinema , she is made to dance with angst in the climax , much like those jaded heroines of the past .
the rao ramesh - sampath raj sub - plot is too folkish . it might have been unavoidable , but it ' s nevertheless insipid . pragya jaiswal as his ' maradalu ' bhawani is beautiful and expressive . sai kumar , ajay , ' kalakeya ' prabhakar , vennela kishore , brahmanandam and others fit the bill .
mm keeravani ' s music is top - notch , especially ' kamaneeyam ' and ' akhilanda koti brahmanda nayaka ' . the rr is a - rated . s gopal reddy ' s cinematography is beautiful .
a proper tirumala devotional . artistically , it ' s much better than ' shirdi sai ' . nagarjuna is a super - mature actor who emotes with his eyes . saurabh and anushka complement him . fairly engaging writing from bharavi , although some stock elements could have been given a miss for good .

when rama gets to know from his preceptor that it was vishnu himself , he sets on a pilgrimage to tirumala , to worship venkatesa . in tirumala , rama gets acquainted with a fellow devotee , krishnamma ( anushka shetty ) . though the duo educates people in their village with short stories of venkatesa , rama ' s quest to meet the lord remains unanswered . and that ' s when venkatesa ( saurabh raj jain ) descends on the earth , only to play dice with rama , his favourite bhakt .
despite a generic story , the film hits the bull ' s eye when it talks about tirumala tirupati devasthanam ' s ( ttd ) hypocrisy that it has continued with for years now . for instance , those who pay a considerable amount to the temple authorities , get their darshan done in a matter of a few minutes , while others wait for hours .
nagarjuna , who has given some memorable performances in films like ramadasu and annamayya , returns to his forte . his portrayal of rama does justification to the iconic character . just like each time when someone says
krishna
, we ' re inevitably reminded of late superstar nt rama rao , who will forever be remembered for playing the eponymous character .
nagarjuna is doing this film after soggade chinni nayana . the film that released for last year’s sankranthi impressed the fans . now , this is the time to take the fans and audiences on a devotional ride . akkineni fans have already started talking great things about the film . the film is releasing big in overseas as well . [ do read : suriya singam 3 movie review & rating . ]
story : hathiram baba ( raama in the film ) was a devotee of lord rama . he will be so excited and determined to meet the god . raama’s parents will set a marriage with his in - laws daughter . raama cancels the marriage and visits tirumala to see lord venkateswara swamy . there he meets anushka who will be supporting to eliminate the bad things which will happen at tirupathi . with the help of anushka , nagarjuna will be making more devotees for lord venkateswara . when he visited tirumala , he decided to stay there and set up an ashram outside the temple .
review : overall , it is a nice portrayal of hathiram baba , which begins with a devotee and ends with his devotional approach towards lord balaji at tirumala in 1500 b . c . a great watch for all the fans who wants to see nagarjuna and anushka in this traditional roles . the movie has good songs and the background music mesmerizes you and takes you to the feel . after leaving the theater you will think about nagarjuna for his outstanding performance in the role of hathiram baba .
nagaprashanth  @ chnp01yyy an amazing devotional journey that for sure would amaze one and all . loved it to its core . govinda govinda # omnamovenkatesaya # updatefromusa

story : the movie depicts the story of hathi ram baba who built his own ashram on tirumala hills . the ashram is still there on the hills . legend has it that lord venkateshwara had played dice with hathi rama baba . so this movie is based on that legend , and tells the story of it . as per the movie , it was rama ( nagarjuna ) , a devotee of lord venkateshwara , who put everything in place on the hills when all sevas were being done without following the agama rules . so impressed by rama ' s pooja and the right way of administration on the hills he brought , lord venkateshwara comes down to play with him . but only rama can see the lord , but not the people around him . when everything was going good for rama , lord loses his jewellery in the game to rama and next day people come to know the diety in temple was robbed of jewel . blame is put on rama . how would rama come out of these charges ? how he turns from rama to hathi rama baba is the rest of the story .
analysis to talk about the merits and demerits of devotional films is tough . those who have devotional bent would easily move with any scene involving lord and his mahatyam ' s in such films , but for others they don ' t add much excitement if they are not told effectively . so , devotional films are more subjective than any other genre movies . though we all know / read / seen movies about lord venkateshwara and his mahatyam , the story of hathi ram baba is less known . although director k raghavendra rao presents this movie like his old devotional movies , but he picks up momentum in the second half and tells the story of hathi rama there .
at tirumala temple various poojas , sevas are conducted today . many of these seva ' s ( for example navaneeta harati , nijapada darshanam ) wre said to be introduced by this hathi rama baba . we come know to know through this movie . much of the movie focuses on documenting these aspects of hathi rama how he brought orderliness on temple premises , introduced sevas , how he brought the amenities like free food for devotees , etc .
one way it is a documentation guide of sevas and poojas . but the movie also has some good devotional moments between nagarjuna and sourabh jain . the scene of nag and sourabh jain playing dice in the lush hills of tirumala with various teerthas ( waterfalls ) forming the backdrop is stunning to watch . these scenes are sporadic .
while entire first half lacks effectiveness , the second half of the movie redeems it with these scenes . more than the story and narration , what works effectively in the film are the cinematography and casting of lord venkateshwara . it won ' t be exaggration if we say sourabh jain as lord balaji is perfect . his apperance and his performance both are pitch perfect . and the cinematography is colorful . senior cameraman s gopal reddy and the visual effects have brought out best results .
of the performances , sourabh scores with full marks . nagarjuna as hathi rama baba is good too . anushka gets lengthier role as krishnamma . pragya is there for only one song as maradalu of nagarjuna to provide some glamour to the eye . jagapathi babu ' s role comes off as silly . rao ramesh as govindrajulu is good . vennela kishore is okay .
music by keeravani is mixed bag . couple of songs are lilting but the entire musical score is not that effective as his work was major strength in ' annamayya ' or ' sri ramadasu ' . director raghavendra rao has dissappointed with movies like ' pandurangadu ' and ' shiridi sai ' but his narration is better here .
she talks about tej i love u , her choice of movies and roles . . .
rama ( nagarjuna ) and lord venkateswara or balaji ( saurabh jain ) as his devotee rama calls him , are seated overlooking a precipice , playing a game of dice ( pachikalu ) . the lord has lost to his devotee a few times earlier and this time , has arrived with his own dice and with garuda ( a brief role by ajay ) who monitors the game . the result is no different . the lord loses all his jewellery which he stakes . eventually , the temple priests notice the lords idol bereft of jewellery .

the nagarjuna - raghavendra rao devotional films have become a genre unto themselves . a slightly revisionist take of devotee dramas that are very conscious and cautious of the commercial appeal and narrative tautness needed , to the extent that they never shied away from comedy tracks , cleavages and the timeless fruits - on - the - navel routine . but be it the evergreen annamayya or the almost equally good sri ramadasu , what outshined all this desperate glamourization and blatant exaggeration is how consistently excellently nagarjuna fleshed out his performances every time .

the aviation cocktail is one of those cocktails with a long and rocky past , though it is a fantastic classic cocktail that is always worth revisiting when the opportunity arises .

the denver egotist adds the aviation cocktail is the work of the pilot ' s lounge , an independent denver production company far removed from hollywood histrionics .
the aviation cocktail is a gin - based cocktail whose special appeal comes from the addition of maraschino liqueur . previously headed for the endangered species list , the aviation cocktail seems to be having a revival thanks to the internet . the aviation was once regarded as the prince of cocktails , but the scarcity of maraschino liqueur nearly sent the drink into tippler’s oblivion . the name of this feisty depression - era cocktail is supposedly linked to air travel of the time—a risky venture not for the faint of heart .
my favorite cocktail ! so yummy . using the actual luxardo maraschino cherries make this cocktail that much better , too !
one of the most famous cocktails first printed in ensslin’s book is the aviation , but for a long time bartenders used the aviation recipe from the more popular savoy cocktail book that has been in print for many years .
aviation cocktail ( harry craddock ' s recipe ) shake all ingredients with ice and fine strain into chilled glass .
“aviation cocktail” at urltoken : all text and photos copyright © 2010 douglas m . ford . all rights reserved .
the poor , benighted aviation was released from cocktail trivia prison in 2007 when the very floral rothman and winter crème de violette reappeared in the us market , and the renewed possibility of making the aviation along the lines of the original ensslin recipe caught the fancy of the growing body of history - minded cocktailians . in short order , the blogosphere elevated the aviation to fashionable prominence .
this is the best aviation recipe ! the balances are perfect shawn . thank you !
here in la cañada , the flintridge proper serves the authentic version of this cocktail .
my ( simon difford ) adaptation of hugo r . ensslin ' s aviation cocktail in his 1916 recipes for mixed drinks .
few cocktails beyond the aviation have called for creme de violette , and by the 1960 ' s it had disappeared from the u . s . market . this sent the aviation even further into obscurity until a recent cocktail renaissance and the re - release of the floral liqueur .
though bartenders loved the simple gin drink , they could never figure out why it was called the aviation . it was a cocktail mystery for many years .
it ' s not a contest . the cocktail glasses used to be smaller .
the owners decided on the
nick and nora
glass for the aviation . those are the glasses used in the movie version of
the thin man .
choosing the right mixing technique for making a cocktail is straightforward . in the case of the daiquiri , it is shaken because it contains the juice of a lime . charlotte demonstrates how to make a classic daiquiri cocktail as well as how to properly shake a cocktail .
if you choose to skip the signature creme de violette , do be careful about the cocktail ' s balance . without this seemingly insignificant ingredient , the aviation can quickly become too sour .
the aviation was the last american cocktail to be created and published before prohibition . sure there were speakeasies , but when prohibition arrived in 1920 , the production of crème de violette went right out the window .
every cocktail needs to be strained , and using the right strainer is key in any cocktail preparation . the mixology guys show us three different types of strainers and the uses for each one .
for me the most important point is that the ‘yellow’ aviation can be a tremendous ‘sweet / sour’ drink .
the aviation cocktail will give you wings . seriously . i stalked the aviation cocktail for months before trying it at a local speakeasy cocktail bar . it’s a prohibition - era martini , consisting of gin , maraschino liqueur ( cherry ) , crème de violette , and fresh lemon juice . it’s got a slight violet hue and it’s nothing short of amazing . half of the ingredients are ordinary , the other half are…say that again ?
noted for its beautiful color , this old - school gin aviation cocktail is as blue as the sky . created before prohibition , this staple was lost to the united states after the noble experiment . luckily , the return of lots of classic liqueurs and quality spirits put this cocktail back on the market .
the aviation cocktail uses a touch of one of the lesser known and harder to find liqueurs in the world : creme de violette . it’s just what it sounds like – a liqueur that tastes like violets .
i started getting serious about cocktails in may of 2002 . at that time the aviation ( gin , maraschino , lemon ) was “the secret handshake” of the cocktail set – if you knew what the aviation was , you were ‘in the know’ . i believe dale degroff brought it back from obscurity , but it might be paul harrington who made it famous in his 1998 book “cocktail , a drinks manual for the 21rst century” and in his cocktail column on urltoken [ which may have actually been the first cocktail “blog” ] , and because he was serving them to the dot com crowd in emeryville , ca .
the city of valentine recently used the incentive to attract the production crew of the movie ,
aviation cocktail ,
which filmed there in the fall . the city invested $ 5 , 000 and the production company spent $ 40 , 000 to $ 45 , 000 , coash said .
this cocktail had both taste and effect . it was blue - violet . it was blue like the sky , with a touch of purple twilight . it was worthy of its name : the aviation .
the aviation is a classic gin based cocktail which is shaken and served straight - up . it is basically a gin sour but with lemon juice sourness balanced by sweet maraschino liqueur . . .
you may also want to check out the eagle cocktail , which also features creme de violette and gin .
it is impossible to make an authentic aviation cocktail without crème de violette . until recently , this essential liqueur , composed of violets , sugar and alcohol , was not available .
only the most traditional or serious bars still make the aviation . this is one drink that home - bartending aficionados are dabbling in .
yes , the color’s all wrong—”pilot’s delight , ” i like that . yvette makes a tasty cocktail , though .
great recipe and commentary . the aviation is one of my go to’s if not in mood for straight gin martini .
it was sometime in the 1930 ' s that the creme de violette was dropped from the aviation and the maraschino took over the drink . this can be noted in harry craddock ' s popular
savoy cocktail book
, which has been an influence on bartending guides since its first publication in 1930 .
shake with ice , strain into a well - chilled cocktail glass . garnish with brandied cherry .
this liqueur may make the aviation what it really was meant to be , though even during the four decades of its absence the cocktail was still being made without it . interestingly , some connoisseurs have reverted to the maraschino - only recipe because they believe the modern creme de violette is not what it should be .
credit mad men for rekindling nostalgia for the 1950s and 60s if you must , but the aviation cocktail , a dramatic thriller that ' s cast , crewed , and filmed in colorado and nebraska during that era looks to be a different creature entirely .
the aviation is a great favorite of mine . so i’d like to present a different point of view on its last decades .
easily the best selling point is the aviation cocktail ’s soundtrack , by wilson helmericks and featuring snake rattle rattle snake . the film’s lana del ray - meets - daughter compositions and arrangements set the varying moods perfectly and it – whilst not unfalteringly cathartic – is definitely worth checking out whether you manage to see the film or not .
another hot monday night at the flintridge proper . the happy hour had come and gone . now was the time for a real cocktail . on the table before me there was a small stemmed glass .
shake the aviation hard enough that tiny flecks of ice float in the drink as soon as it is poured . stay clear of the gooey syrup in maraschino cherry jars . it’s no substitute for the liqueur .
unfortunately , aside from the introduction of some great ideas as well as some excellent cinematography and musical stylings , the aviation cocktail didn’t soar as well as it should have – but definitely keep your eyes open for whatever any of those involved are up to next .
shot in nebraska and touted as colorado’s finest , the aviation cocktail is a “dramatic thriller” nonetheless most reminiscent of the south ; its story official description notes that “adultery leads to jealousy which leads back to murder” , but its sense of morality crushes some of the thrills it could have given .
like the world ' s finest gins , aviation is distilled using a proprietary maceration process that produces a pure medley of botanical flavor .
the aviation cocktail is chelsea flower show in a glass , combining gin , maraschino liqueur , lemon juice and crème de violette . and until a few years ago , it was impossible to make properly , because crème de violette had disappeared from the shelves .
valentine , ne was chosen as the primary location for ' the aviation cocktail ' , not only because it was the ideal setting for the story , but also because the film friendly community supported the production through the economic development board . consequently , nebraska senator colby coash pushed film incentive bill lb863 into law and alexander payne took advantage of the new state tax credits , shooting his film ' nebraska ' around norfolk , ne .
thus , the arrival of crème de violette has made the aviation the centerpiece of a robust , larger conversation about whether cocktail recipes , especially the first publication recipes , should be considered law , or merely guidelines ; and to what extent it’s reasonable to change proportions , to add , subtract , or substitute ingredients , or even change the size of the pour , before the drink takes on such a different character that it becomes a different product altogether . can a cocktail properly evolve beyond its original definition ? or , as it loses its fidelity to the “original , ” must it be considered an entirely different cocktail , signified at the very least by a different name ?
the nick and nora cocktail glass is smaller than most , and as the waldorf bar book notes ,
the cocktail , taken according to general practice , is not sipped as is wine . if it is not gulped , it is usually finished in three swallows , or at most four .
a warm baked apple aroma and flavor treat the palate when taking a sip of the treacle . with wonderful notes of cinnamon the treacle is the perfect cocktail to show off a delicious spiced rum like sailor jerry spiced rum .
the aviation is one of those unheard of treasures . it’s a cocktail you’ve probably never heard of , but need to get to know right now . up until a year ago , i had never heard of the aviation . i started to see it in tv shows , online , in restaurants , everywhere . it’s one of those things you don’t notice until you actually notice it—and then you see it all over the place .
we really do not know who first created the aviation cocktail . according to david wondrich ' s
imbibe !
, it was first printed in a 1916 book by hugo ensslin called
recipes for mixed drinks
. it has always been difficult to gauge how popular the cocktail was at the time and because the two key liqueurs were likely just as rare as they are today , it is assumed that this was a specialty drink served at only the most elite of bars .
no c . d . v is no aviation i don’t like the raste of maraschino very much but in the aviation it has a perfect counterpart : c . d . v i would like to sample your c . d . v , seems to bring more colour in the drink then my giffard c . d . v
but here at aviation , we have our own way of doing things . aviation old tom is aged for one year in used whiskey barrels made from american white oak . the aging process brings out the democratic blend of botanicals so this old tom mixes like a gin and drinks neat like a whiskey .
hi , don—i agree that the crème de violette seems to be a natural for the aviation . on the other hand , absent crème de v . , respected bartenders made the drink without for decades . we work with what we have , i guess . it’s fascinating to me how drinks get redefined over time , based on available ingredients , and the aviation is a good example of that .
i ' ve tried every gin on the planet and aviation is , hands down , the best . also , i don ' t recommend trying every gin on the planet . stick with this one .

for an independent film “the aviation cocktail” features excellent production values , spectacular photography and a poignant music score ( it’s also great to see so many great old american cars all in one movie ) . higgins direction is surprisingly solid , especially for a first timer . he knows where he wants to take his characters and what he wants the film to say . though there are some logical problems with the film’s major plot twist , “the aviation cocktail” is a potent and brooding indie film that features richly developed characters and some excellent performances ( kiger , eaton and lockhart stand out ) . this is a quality film that needs to be embraced by the indie community .
the aviation has been around at least since 1911 , according to david wondrich’s imbibe ! it has been flying well under the radar ever since . or at least ever since there was radar .
shake the gin , maraschino liqueur , and lemon juice well with ice ; then strain into a cocktail glass . garnish with a maraschino cherry , if desired .
but when the film opens with a magnificent aeronautical sequence that exudes tension , yet also calmness , you forget about wanting to delve into plot . the imagery , along with the tone of the opening track , evokes the sombre and awe - inspiring feeling that still warms the stomachs of anyone who has seen the wind rises . all the aviation cocktail needs is to set the film’s entire plot inside that small , private aircraft and director david r . higgins would have a hit on his hands . alas , the plane touches down and pilot , jack fisher ( michael haskins ) exits in search of the plot .
it’s hard to tell what to expect going into the aviation cocktail . the film’s trailer touts a tantalising 1950’s small - town familial set - up ( “one part passion , two parts betrayal and a splash of blood” ) , laying out a dramatic tale of broken friendships and icy love lives ; but it’s not exactly telling exactly what the film’s plot is .
i love your take on the use of the cdv , and the conventions of naming . i would note that your recipe called for london dry gin but listed plymouth ( the only remaining producer of the “plymouth” style of gin , sweeter and decidedly more floral than a classic london dry ) , so the flavor and sweetness of the cocktail would be different than if one used the bombay dry

in addition to adding a nice violet floral note , the crème de violette lends its dark purple color to the drink . when mixed with gin and lemon juice , the drink turns a pale blue color , just like the sky . cocktail mystery : solved !
with its earthy herbaceous flavours , tequila makes for a both versatile and interesting cocktail base spirit . traditionally mixed with orange ( think triple
when the first edition of ted haigh’s vintage spirits and forgotten cocktails came out in 2004 , he mentioned that as great as the aviation was , he had had a ‘blue moon’ ( an aviation plus crème de violette ) which was better . we all waited until 2008 when rothman and winter re - introduced crème de violette to the us , and by then there were lots of reprints of cocktail books and we all had ensslin’s recipe in our hands . here is gary regan’s take on that moment – urltoken
hi , rhett , thanks for the comment , it really goes to the heart of the article .
the recipe concludes ,
adjust the proportions to your liking . garnish with the violet blossoms .
regulars come in to your bar for various reasons : their friends and colleagues go there . they enjoy the ambience . maybe they really like you and the other bartenders behind the bar . more than likely , they have a cocktail they really enjoy every time they sit at the bar . serving that cocktail and the others on the menu consistently is key to keeping your best patrons coming back again and again and is really quite simple . proper measuring using a jigger is paramount to creating consistency behind the bar .
the cast and crew endured freezing temperatures during the 17 day shoot , particularly during the graveyard showdown scene between beau kiger and connor boyle near the end of the film .
today you will find the aviation on lists of classic cocktails that should be experienced , though it still should not be expected that it can be ordered at any bar . despite being available again , creme de violette is not part of the average bar ' s inventory , though there are some that are trying to revive the aviation and will create a fantastic version for you to taste .
every bottle of aviation gin is handcrafted in small 100 - case batches by a small , dedicated team of master distillers in portland , oregon .
the “yellow” aviation ( 1 . 5 gin , . 75 lemon , . 5 maraschino ) was a smash hit – in my life making instant believers out of cocktail skeptics . luxardo maraschino is great stuff , but easily overpowering and must be strictly measured or you will wind up with what harrington termed ‘a glass of pixie stix’
give the aviation a shot and see if you sink or soar . it’s one of those cocktails , patty and i can both agree on . i’m whiskey , she’s fruity , this one is right down the middle .
your comment about the “yellow” aviation being a good sour is an excellent reminder that we should evaluate cocktails on their intrinsic qualities , as you did with this one . anyone who has spent time with old bar manuals knows that just because a drink is a century old doesn’t mean it’s worth drinking ; and as you point out , just because a cocktail isn’t the same as the “original” doesn’t mean it isn’t good . thanks for the reminder .
some of the citrusy gins make a fun variant in this cocktail , especially if you want to try upping the lemon nose and flavor without pushing up the sourness . i’ve used new amsterdam and bombay sapphire with good results , but there are many to play with .
one more paragraph , on behalf of the insane amount of people thanked in the credits ( that usually means volunteers and donators ) . if you’re sensitive to details you may notice that one of the film’s hangar shots might be a reference to the big combo , but you’ll also know this isn’t its equal . still , if you’re having a lazy evening or something , it’s enjoyable enough ; in that case i’d recommend a film noir double feature : the aviation cocktail , and something a little stronger .
the aviation cocktail has picked up accolades across the globe and for the most part it’s easy to see why : there are great visuals every now and then , alongside some interesting thematic exploration of post - wwii life – but for every great production choice and character moment there are about four others that are doa . the actors’ ranges are evidently there as , during select moments in the film , they all own the screen , but at other times it’s hard to believe we’re not watching a student film thanks to some weak camera angling and sound production .
so i’ll stick to the very narrow position that there seems little point in making an aviation without crème de violette . without it , the drink is ( a ) not charmingly blue ; and ( b ) not deliciously , memorably tasty .
the violette adds to the nose , and brings additional sweetness and a depth of flavor to the drink . i do believe that a healthy proportion of lemon helps the drink , and experimentation has brought me around to the idea that it should be small , very cold , and emphatically sour . not 2 : 1 sour , but noticably and bracingly sour . so here is the cold glass aviation :
the dynasty began with you ,
reads the plaque above his remains .
anyway , i’m trying to step up my cocktail game and this site has been very beneficial . i have been voraciously reading everything you , david wondrich , et al . have to write on the subject . i’m also enjoying amy stewart’s “the drunken botanist” . but , as subjective as cocktails are , you recipes always seem “just right” and in - line with my tastes . even a wondrich version of the aviation i found online omits the crème de violette , but after seeking out all the ingredients recently and following the recipe above , i can’t imagine omitting anything .
the aviation cocktail is smooth , flowery , assertive , yet sweet . like nothing you’ve ever tasted—so i honestly don’t know what to compare it to . the key ingredient is luxardo , maraschino liqueur . it adds a very subtle boozy , cherry finish . it’s worth picking up because it appears in so many other classic cocktails . if you don’t believe me , you can read a whole host of cocktails here .
one of these german - born bartenders was hugo ensslin , who authored recipes for mixed drinks in 1917 , the last major cocktail book published before prohibition in 1920 . the book was not all that well - known until it was recently reprinted .
without a precise flight plan , the first bartender / distiller partnership took off . through repeated trial and experimentation with 7 botanicals , ryan and christian finally landed on a democratic blend with juniper in the background . like all successful partnerships , none is overpowering or masking , but each plays a part in bringing out the best in all . aviation , a gin created to be so balanced and smooth , it can complement any cocktail or even fly solo .
the 1935 edition of the waldorf - astoria bar book says ,
americans , as a rule , drink partly for the taste , mostly for the effect .
last week i was in berlin for a bar show and attended a seminar on the german influence on american cocktails , lead by historians jared brown and anistatia miller . it turns out that many of the great cocktail book authors of the late - 1800’s and early 1900’s were of german origin .
combine all ingredients ( except the cherry ) in a cocktail shaker ( affiliate ) with a cup of ice . shake vigorously for 10 seconds and strain into a chilled martini glass . garnish with a maraschino cherry .
the macerate is then pumped into a stainless steel still along with pure water . steam jackets heat the macerate , the vapors go into a shotgun condenser , come into contact with the cold water , and the distillate forms .
personally , i was not impressed with either the rothman & winter or the “original” aviation and after buying two more different bottlings of crème de violette i can’t even remember what it tasted like . but i should dust off some bottles and investigate again – and try your recipe !

which is a way of saying that the ingredients of the aviation cocktail — plot threads , period details , character types — are all present , but could use some more mixing . the latter is a particular snag : we have three potentially strong characters in the fisher brothers and bob halloran , but the actors don’t seem to have been introduced to them properly ; they play the surface details of tough cop , good guy , etc . without doing much beyond what we might expect from their first appearances . connor boyle as dale riley is a clear exception : given the news that his sister was killed by the opening - sequence murderer , he comes to regard the world with a sour look reminiscent of michael shannon — not quite angry because there’s no object for fury , but a touch more revengeful than simple moodiness . that’s multi - layered , interesting acting .

the more i experiment with cocktails from the 1900’s , the more i appreciate the 1900’s in general ( seriously , hear me out ) . it’s amazing to think that a lot of our favorite cocktails we drink today have stood the rigorous test of time .
even bigger failed substitutions department : a bartender with no crème de violette served me an aviation that substituted blue curaçao . it was strikingly , garishly blue . it did not taste good . i won’t be doing that again .
the film was scheduled for a november shoot in the hopes that it would snow . thus , the majority of the film was shot around valentine , nebraska . but the blizzard scene and snowy aerials were shot with brandon eaton near denver , colorado during an actual snow storm .

according to the film ' s indiegogo page , the story centers around three wwii war vets dealing with rural life after the war . director ( and colorado native ) david r . higgins promises to highlight
the fruited beauty of the often overlooked , but majestic colorado plains .
and from the looks of the trailer , higgins certainly seems to have an eye for capturing beautifully dramatic moments .
the
heart cut
is transferred to a blending tank where pure water is added , bringing the gin to the desired 84 proof . it then goes into a bottling tank with a 6 - sprout gravity filler and pumped into bottles . labels , caps , and cap strips are all applied by hand . a craft production from beginning to end , aviation is then ready to pack and ship .
is another altogether . the editing of the production is very well done but the content takes itself way too seriously . i completely understand that the intention wasn ' t to pen a comedy , but at least a feeling of fun or freedom at times would have fit the bill rather nicely . not the case here though . there is absolutely none of that . from the opening scene to the very end we have a slow burning dramatic entity with no
iowa economic development director tom wheeler and five others in the department lost their jobs in the scandal , which included the purchase of luxury vehicles ineligible for the tax credits and a ladder reportedly rented for $ 1 , 350 . then - gov . chet culver suspended the program in 2009 and requested an investigation by the state auditor and attorney general .
this film starts off with the exciting hostage scene and then turns slow and melancholy as higgins dissects what his “heroes” are really like . along the way , the film finds a way to really get under your skin . it’s got a great noirish flavor , even though it’s set in the wide open spaces of nebraska . there are some great scenes of the characters standing in the emptiness of the countryside , with this vastness echoing the enormity of their own personal hell . the death of geoff hadley acts as a catalyst and starts henry and bob on the path to self destruction .
jack arrives on scene to find a posse led by his old friend bob halloran . upon learning that the girl is dead , a shootout takes place injuring the killer who is airlifted back to town . in the airplane the men decide to enact vigilante justice . they kill the murderer . this decision propels the men into a guilt fed downward spiral .
the question i pondered as i wrote this article was the likelihood that a home bar in the first decades of the 20th century would include maraschino , or just the more commonly requested basic additives like vermouth , curacao or triple sec , bitters , perhaps grenadine . it’s pure speculation—i have no idea where one would even start looking for stats on the subject—but speculation based on the marginalization of both maraschino and violette , and finally the complete disappearance altogether of the violette . at least maraschino had enough going for it that it stayed on the shelves ; poor violette , with even fewer recipes to prop it up , the marketplace just didn’t support it .

nick and nora charles were the intellectual property of the late mystery writer , dashiell hammett . on the big screen , myrna loy played nora and william powell played nick . they were often tipsy , sometimes drunk , back in the day when it was acceptable .
bob halloran ( brandon eaton ) loves his bottled beer throughout the film . in reality the art department emptied red stripe bottles , scraped the labels off by hand and slapped on a custom sticker .
the film has a ( nomination pending ) academy award for the best movie ever made , at least according to their facebook profile .
i’m not ready to support either side in this controversy . as for how much you can change a cocktail before it loses its identity , i’m afraid i’m in the same position where supreme court justice potter stewart famously found himself when considering a completely different topic—i can’t describe when it’s gone too far , but i know it when i see it .

this is a powerful drink , with three ounces of gin . with one and a half ounces of lemon juice and only a half ounce of combined sweet liqueurs , it’s a rather dry cocktail . if it’s not sweet enough for you , you could definitely bump up the amount of creme de violette or maraschino liqueur , or both to keep the flavor balanced . be sure to use a gin you like – bombay sapphire , hendrick’s and tanqueray ten are good choices .
this mix is simple , and in true old - fashioned style , it requires just a few ingredients . the problem is that the key to getting the stunning blue color is a rather elusive liqueur . often overlooked and rarely stocked , the creme de violette was revived with a 2007 release by rothman and winter .

it turns out that jack has been called to a barn where he joins his brother henry ( beau kiger ) , the town’s sheriff , and their longtime friend bob holloran ( brendan eaton ) . the men are joined by a whole team of deputies who are surrounding the suspected serial murderer , geoff hadley ( mark hanson ) . when geoff doesn’t want to come quietly bob , perhaps a little trigger - happy , fires upon the man and the whole squad opens fire too . what ensues from thereon is a dramatic descent into hell for the three main characters , as their involvement in the murder of hadley is the catalyst that forces their wwii - induced ptsd to take hold and send any semblance of happiness into oblivion .

another aspect of the film that occasionally threw me was the inconsistent character portrayals . at times , the cast completely had my attention with some really outstanding chops ! then , there were those few times the acting came off as hollow and scripted . clearly the main cast was capable of some stellar performances ; which they gave at times . other times however , it almost felt as if the shoot was almost over , everyone wanted to go home and they simply shot , wrapped and left . these instances were few and only slightly impacted my rating of an otherwise excellent film .
nebraska could join 40 states that try to lure film production crews with the promise of financial incentives .
the ¾ - ounce portion of lemon juice is the “hot days” version , a bit more sour and brightly refreshing on sticky summer evenings . lemons are highly variable , so as you experiment with the proportions , you may want to work in a little simple syrup to balance the flavors without overloading the liqueurs ; maraschino and violette can be overbearing , and i’ve found that these relatively small amounts—less than you’d find in many published versions of the drink—work well for both flavor and color . ( i haven’t found a drink yet that is improved by adding more than ¼ ounce of luxardo , it’s fairly strong . )

and as for the rest…you know , it’s pretty good for what it is — family man jack fisher is pitched to us at the level of his swept - back hair , charming smile and aviator sunglasses , but at least these are all fairly appealing . the 1959 which surrounds him is a little harder to swallow — the clothes look like costumes , while the roads and curbsides are always empty but for one or two period cars . i know this is because a low - budget production has to borrow things that can’t be worn down or broken in , but the result feels a little uncanny — a world with no marks from being lived in .

“it took careful maturation – in three different woods over a 35 - year period – to release the full potential of this whisky , ” says master distiller richard paterson of the venerable highland single - malt whisky maker’s limited - edition the dalmore 35 ( £3 , 500 , see first picture ) , available from october 7 . paterson , considered a “walking whiskipedia” , has overseen production of 1 , 000 bottles of the satinwood and amber - gold whisky – each in a specially made baccarat crystal decanter ( see second picture ) bearing the dalmore’s royal stag emblem , encased in a sleek wooden box .
there are “relatively few applications” for maraschino ? that’s not true at all . it’s an integral ingredient in tons of cocktails , from pre - prohibition like this one and the martinez , to lots of awesome modern ones , like the red hook…
and controversy . there is a school of thought that says that if crème de violette is available , the drink certainly should be made with crème de violette . there is another faction that declares the currently available crème de v “not good enough , ” and they’ll stick with the well - published , long standard violette - free version , thank you very much .
the film was shot in and around valentine , ne with colorado cast and crew , along with local resources and talent .
higgins , working with editor patrick behan , tells the story creatively and efficiently . the actors are given room to breathe . the film is beautifully shot by cinematographer mark rutledge . technical aspects ( sound , sets , etc . ) are excellent for the $ 1 million budget . beau kiger ( sheriff henry ) and leah lockhart ( alice , his wife ) , stand out as multi - dimensional characters with a lot of hurt , and not much hope , left in them . they bring a lot of power to their scenes , saving a few ( unhappy wife , alcoholic husband ) from turning cliche . michael haskins ( jack fisher , who runs the local air service ) , and brandon eaton ( sinister salesman bob halloran ) bring good balance to the ensemble , although they don ' t come off as the scarred wwii veterans they are supposed to be .
