The “I Choose Violets” Cocktail

I love to experiment with cocktails to find new and interesting combinations. This one is an original creation, inspired by a couple different cocktails that I love. This one took a little bit of experimentation to get balanced, but it ended up having a really great sweet, crisp, and tart profile with a finish will make you want another! The creme de violette and Campari give this a nice herbal profile, but it manages to not overpower the drink. Hope you enjoy!
