The blue raspberry vodka and grenadine add a dry, fruity bitterness, but the strawberry lemonade base delivers most of the flavor.

The basic recipe of every Crème de Violette liqueur is quite similar. Violet flowers, petals, and buds are steeped in a spirit base like brandy or any other neutral spirit. Added sugar lends the liqueurs its sweet taste and an ideal texture. The exact recipes vary from product to product. Lafranconi is also not afraid to riff on the drink by including non-traditional ingredients. A bar spoon of St. Germain Elderflower liqueur can up the floral complexity, he says, while a splash of Prosecco creates a more approachable version — a sort of Aviation-French 75 hybrid.

After crème de violette had been all but unavailable in the United States for decades, in mid-2007 Haus Alpenz began importing the Rothman & Winter Crème de Violette, which is made from Queen Charlotte and March violet flowers from the Alps. [1] Since then, other brands of crème de violette have arrived on the US market, e.g., The Bitter Truth from Europe. The color of the liqueur is usually dark purple to dark blue. The shade depends on the brand and, ultimately, the ingredients of the specific liqueur.
