There are so many amazing cocktails with creme de violetteout there!
Crème de violette is flavored with violets, and has a sweet-floral flavor profile that’s similar to violet candies that were popular in the early to mid-20th century. It’s flavor is similar to a sweet tart candy. And, though the name has “creme” in it, it’s actually not creamy at all. Instead, it’s a clear, purple hued liqueur.
Creme de Violette costs on average $30 for a 750-ml bottle at the liquor store.
I typically use it in my favorite Aviation Cocktail, but it’s also a key ingredient to many other cocktail recipes!
