MONIN Creme de Violette (Violet) Liqueur 70cl Bottle

Product Information

Since then, the demand for Crème de Violette and other violet-flavored liqueurs has been rising again. How Crème de Violette is made Bartenders agree the four-ingredient recipe should be taken as a guideline rather than scripture. This is, admittedly, daunting for inexperienced home bartenders — and a tried and tested template is, of course, a great place to start. But don’t be afraid to tinker, bartenders say.

The famous Rothman & Winter Crème de Violette by Haus Alpine uses a base of Weinbrand (a Brandy distilled from grapes) and is flavored with Queen Charlotte and March violets growing in the Alps. After careful maceration of these native wildflowers, the liqueur is sweetened with cane sugar. This sweetener adds enough flavor to the liqueur that no additional flavorings from vanilla or fruits are needed. Tasting Notes Nose The Aviation is typically served inside a coupe or Martini glass, both of which provide visually striking presentation and shareability. When selecting glassware, though, there’s more to consider than how the drink looks. If a drizzle of violet syrup on your cake isn’t quite enough for you, why not add a bit into the cake batter too? Whether using a box mix or your grandma’s tried and true cake recipe, add in one to two tablespoons of crème de violette to lend a hint of color and flavor. Of course, adjustments to quantity may need to be made. But once you’ve found the correct ration, it may prove more satisfying for your sweet tooth than a roll of Choward’s Violet Mints. Try with Rothman & Winter Crème de Violette. Try Your Hand at Violet TrufflesIf you have a peach liqueur on hand, use that. If you have some fresh, beautiful peaches, make my peach oleo saccharum-style syrup instead! Crème de violette is a liqueur infused with the essence of violet flowers. The delicate blooms are macerated in a neutral spirit like vodka or grain alcohol, then sweetened with a hint of sugar and water. The end result? A sweet, deeply floral flavour paired with a rich purple hue that’s ideal for crafting truly memorable clinkers. I would not recommend using a cheap brand such as Drillaud. Cheap, artificial floral flavors will only make your drink taste cheap and artificial. Opt for a premium brand when selecting an floral (think rose or elderflower, too) liqueur or syrup.

Crème de Violette is a liqueur made by macerating violet flowers in a neutral spirit or brandy base. What does it taste like? After crème de violette had been all but unavailable in the United States for decades, in mid-2007 Haus Alpenz began importing the Rothman & Winter Crème de Violette, which is made from Queen Charlotte and March violet flowers from the Alps. [1] Since then, other brands of crème de violette have arrived on the US market, e.g., The Bitter Truth from Europe. For those looking to go full throttle with the crème de violette — up to ½ or ¾ ounce — introducing simple syrup also helps. “I've found that even Rothman & Winter crème de violette is not as complex as I want it to be,” says Boston-based bar consultant Ezra Star. “So I tend to up the quantity of the violette and add a bar spoon of simple syrup just to round it out really well.”

The Aviation requires yet another special ingredient you might not already have: maraschino liqueur. And no, it’s not the liquid from a jar of maraschino cherries! Maraschino liqueur is a clear, cherry flavored liqueur. The flavor is mainly dry but lightly sweet, with hints of sour cherry and almond. There are several brands of maraschino liqueur: a popular one is Luxardo (which is what we found at our local liquor store). The first step in learning how to drink Creme de Violette is understanding the balance of flavors. When mixed with other liquors or juices, this liqueur can be quite strong but it also has hints of subtlety that must be appreciated as well. To enjoy its full flavor profile, start by sipping it neat or over ice for the perfect balance between sweetness and herbal notes. Crème de violette is the forerunner to the liqueurs Parfait d'Amour and the American variation, Creme Yvette, both of which are decidedly different with pronounced vanilla and/or citrus flavors. When crème de violette is not available it is possible to use the Parfait Amour or creme Yvette to replicate the violet color in a drink, though the taste profile is quite different. [2]
