Directions
Step 1
Squeeze lemon juice and make sure all ingredients are laid out. Measure each ingredient and put them in the shaker with ice. Shake and strain into two coupe glasses.
Step 2
Garnish with orange peel or edible flowers.
Notes & Variations
- Simple syrup is equal parts cane sugar and water.
- Fresh squeezing citrus in shaken drinks is preferred.
- We recommend Koval Gin due to it’s lovely floral nature or Greenhook Gin due to it’s herbaceous flavor. However, if you have another favorite, switch it out!
- For the Violette Giffard, we highly recommend Giffard as the best brand to buy. It is acute and perfect for mixology.
- We prefer drinking the Violet straight up; but, if you prefer drinks on the rocks, go for it!
- Don’t like gin? Switch it out for vodka!
