Cocktail Description
Like a liquid sunset turned purple, the Violet Martini transforms the classic cocktail into something both familiar and mysteriously beautiful.
This elegant variation combines the floral sweetness of Giffard Crème de Violette with the herbal complexity of both dry and sweet vermouths, creating a perfectly balanced drink with notes of delicate violet, subtle herbs, and wine-like depth. The cocktail's striking purple hue makes it a conversation starter at sophisticated gatherings, while its refined flavor profile suits evening cocktail hours or as an aperitif before a special dinner. Fortunately for home bartenders, the Violet Martini requires only basic stirring technique and three ingredients, making it accessible even for beginners who can master it with minimal practice. The drink pairs wonderfully with light appetizers like goat cheese crostini or smoked salmon canapés, while its floral notes also complement desserts featuring vanilla, lemon, or berries.
