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.
