What do you think of when you hear the word violet? There’s the flower and the color. It’s a beautiful shade of purple isn’t it? You might see spring blossoms in your mind and you start to imagine what it would taste like.
Well, wouldn’t it be cool if you could taste what you see? Violet drinks have always been far and few in between in the States, but not anymore!
In 2007 the Rothman & Winter’s Crème de Violette made its way to the States from Austria. Then G. Miclo’s Liqueur de Violette popped up, by a French Alsatian distillery. Crème Yvette is back as well, a nice violet and berry liqueur made of dried violet petals, honey, orange peel, and of course, berries.
These are all good choices for a tasteful evening. Mmm.
