Violet Martini
Cocktail recipe

Rating

4.8 / 5
Now typically the Martini is a gin drink. Although vodka can be a trendy and fit replacement, it is still some kind of surrogate. And despite all that I just can't imagine a gin variant of the Violet Martini. The vanilla adds its unique aroma, and hence we have this dessert treasure.

5/5

The Violet Martini, a daring twist on the classic Martini's lineage, employs vanilla vodka to add a sultry, creamy backdrop that flirtatiously pairs with the floral bursts from violet syrup. This cocktail concoction offers a mouth-watering synergy in which the vibrant floral notes elegantly dance with sweet vanilla undertones, presenting a lush, velvety finish with each sip.

Serving suggestions icon

How should the Violet Martini be served to best enjoy its flavors?

Non alcoholic variations icon

Can I make a non-alcoholic version of the Violet Martini?

Adjust the quantities to taste.
