Rothman & Winter Crème De Violette Liqueur is a Liqueur from the Rothman & Winter Liqueur brand hailing from Austria.

What is Rothman & Winter Crème De Violette Liqueur?

Rothman & Winter Crème De Violette Liqueur is a delicate and floral spirit made from Queen Charlotte and March violet blossoms, offering a natural violet color and flavor that's essential for classic cocktails like the Aviation. Interestingly, this liqueur was nearly extinct in the United States for decades until its reintroduction in 2007, sparking a revival of pre-Prohibition cocktails and becoming a prized bottle among mixologists and cocktail enthusiasts.

Why do we love Rothman & Winter Crème De Violette Liqueur?

Cocktail enthusiasts should treasure Rothman & Winter Crème De Violette Liqueur for its authentic, natural violet flavor and stunning purple hue, which are derived from real Queen Charlotte and March violets handpicked in the Alps. This Austrian gem stands out from other liqueurs by eschewing artificial colors and flavors, resulting in a delicate, floral sweetness that's essential for crafting classic cocktails like the Aviation and Blue Moon.

How do you drink Rothman & Winter Crème De Violette Liqueur?

Rothman & Winter Crème De Violette Liqueur shines brightest in classic gin-based cocktails, where its delicate floral notes can add depth and complexity without overpowering other ingredients. While it's primarily a mixing liqueur, adventurous drinkers might enjoy it neat or over ice as an after-dinner sipper on warm spring evenings, perhaps paired with light, fruity desserts or soft, creamy cheeses that complement its sweet, violet character.

Nose: Fresh violet petals dominate, backed by subtle hints of candied violets and a gentle sweetness. Light floral notes reminiscent of lavender and iris add complexity. A faint, clean alcohol scent lingers in the background.

Palate: Smooth and silky texture. The violet flavor is pronounced but not overwhelming, balanced by a moderate sweetness. Notes of candied violets, vanilla, and a touch of honey emerge. A subtle alpine herb character adds depth, reminiscent of its Austrian origins.

Finish: Medium length with lingering violet notes. The sweetness fades, leaving a pleasant floral aftertaste. A slight dryness appears, accompanied by a hint of citrus zest. The finish is clean and refreshing, inviting another sip.

Rothman & Winter Crème De Violette Liqueur is crafted by steeping delicate Queen Charlotte and March violet petals in spirit, then blending this infusion with cane sugar and brandy. The process captures the essence of fresh Alpine violets, resulting in a naturally vibrant purple liqueur with no artificial colors or flavors added.

  • Rothman & Winter Crème De Violette is made using actual wild Alpine violets hand-picked from the mountainsides of Austria, giving it a natural floral flavor that's worlds apart from artificial violet liqueurs.
  • This liqueur played a crucial role in the revival of the classic Aviation cocktail in the early 2000s. Before its reintroduction to the U.S. market in 2007, true Aviations were nearly impossible to make for decades.
  • Despite its vibrant purple hue, Rothman & Winter Crème De Violette contains no artificial coloring. The striking color comes solely from the maceration of violet petals, which also impart a subtle iridescent shimmer to cocktails.
  • Main Ingredient: Violet
    Country of Origin: Austria
