This pre-Prohibition beauty is floral, tart, and endlessly sippable — and when made with Chemist American Gin, the botanicals shine through with bright intensity. Expect notes of citrus, lavender, and juniper dancing with crème de violette in a cocktail that’s as refined as it is rebellious.
Optional: For a drier take, reduce the crème de violette to a bar spoon or skip it entirely — the botanicals in Chemist Gin will carry the cocktail beautifully either way.
Ingredients:
2 oz Chemist American Gin
0.75 oz fresh lemon juice
0.5 oz maraschino liqueur (like Luxardo)
0.25 oz crème de violette
Garnish: brandied cherry or lemon twist
Instructions:
To prepare, shake all ingredients with ice until well chilled. Strain into a chilled coupe glass and garnish with either a brandied cherry for classic charm or a lemon twist for a brighter, citrus-forward finish.
