MONIN Creme de Violette (Violet) Liqueur 70cl Bottle

Gin and lemon, of course, are natural partners for Crème de Violette, with the floral components of the liqueur playing nicely with the herbal flavors and citrus.

First concocted by Shannon Fristoe, the General Manager and beverage director of Bayona in New Orleans, this drink is reminiscent of a stormy morning. As told by Fristoe, “We wanted to design a drink around this terrific violet liqueur, but we didn’t want it to be too flowery and too soapy tasting, which could have happened if it was on its own.
