This lovely little gem from The PDT Cocktail Book is one of our favorite ways to show off Crème de Violette. It’s rarely called for in such a large proportion, but here it’s perfectly balanced, bright and sweet like candy. If you have some Old Tom gin, this is a great place to show off its sweeter, less juniperous flavors. We wouldn’t use a cucumber gin like Hendrick’s, though; that’s just one too many flavors fighting for attention.
Shake with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass, preferably a pretty one, on the small side.
The Cocktail Party app puts this drink – and hundreds more – in your pocket, and tells you what you can make from the ingredients you have at home. It’s the best $3.99 you’ll ever spend on a drink.
