What cocktails can I make with vanilla vodka and crème de violets?
Cocktail Colin says:
If you're looking for a cocktail that masterfully combines the unique flavors of vanilla vodka and crème de violette, the top choice would be the Violet Martini. Rated at an impressive 4.8/5, this cocktail is a dessert treasure served cold and stirred, not shaken. The vanilla vodka provides a creamy undertone while the violet syrup infuses it with a delicate floral sweetness. This elegant blend creates a truly refined sipping experience, presented beautifully in a cocktail glass.
Another excellent option to consider is the Little Tickle, which also prominently features crème de violette. With a rating of 4.44/5, it artfully blends gin and vodka for a sophisticated flavor profile, accented by the floral notes of the crème de violette. This shaken cocktail is visually stunning with its slight purple hue, making it not just a treat for the palate but also a feast for the eyes.
Both of these cocktails offer a unique and delightful combination of flavors, with the Violet Martini leaning more towards a dessert-like indulgence, while the Little Tickle provides a more complex and aromatic experience.
