Apparently it’s a different crème de violet they use. I’m just happy I can get one right now.
Well that looks delicious! How was it?
For those curious, if you want a really vibrant color, I’d recommend Bitter Truth’s Violet liqueur. I also recommend Rothman & Winters for a softer flavor. Giffard also makes a decent creme de violette at a cheaper price that still has a decent quality.
After all, aviations only use a quarter ounce of the stuff, the gin is the biggest influence on the taste.
It tasted normal. I was just surprised by the color. Usually it’s a much deeper purple.
I just had an Aviation for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Splendid.
It certainly looks pretty! How did it taste?
Could it be Parfait Amour? The Bols version I have is deep blue.
My wife took a picture of the bottle. It is “bitter truths violet liquor”
