Crème de Violette Cocktail Ingredient

Liqueur

Crème de Violette is a floral liqueur made from violet petals, known for its delicate aroma and distinctive purple hue. It lends a light, perfumed sweetness to cocktails, most famously in the Aviation, where it adds both color and a subtle floral note. Its gentle flavor pairs well with gin, sparkling wine, and citrus, enhancing elegance without overpowering - but be careful not to use

to much, since it can be quite overpowering when used carelessly. Used sparingly, it brings a touch of old-world charm and visual appeal to classic and contemporary drinks.
