Violeta Fizz
I’m sure I’m not the only one, but I can not wait until I can order a drink from a bar, eat a meal in a restaurant, and generally leave my house again. In order to mix things up I decided to go shopping… in my own booze stash. I grabbed a bunch of the dustiest bottles from the back of my bar and mixed up a cocktail. This ended up being a pretty fun little exercise and it reminded me that I need to get out of my comfort zone a little bit more often.

This cocktail is a bouquet of floral notes balanced by the relative sharpness of the tequila.  I used a fairly large amount of the Creme de Violette because I wanted to achieve a specific color, but I didn’t find that it overpowered the drink, probably due to both the tequila and the addition of the soda. I did use a store bought lavender soda, but it could be easily substituted for homemade lavender simple syrup and club soda.
