Dreaming of summer? A cloudy pale floral drink to refresh and clear the mind.
Violet Fizz
----------------------------------------
makes 2 cocktails
2 oz Gin
1/2 oz Créme de Violette
1/4 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 oz simple syrup
chilled club soda
ice cubes
Fill a cocktail shaker halfway full with ice cubes. Add the gin, crime de violette, lemon juice and simple syrup. Shake really well.
Fill a highball glass about three quarters full with ice cubes. Strain the mixture into the glass. Fill the glass with the chilled club soda, stir well, and drink.
Notes: It is unfortunate that the pale violet colour, of the drink, did not show up quite so well.

Plunging temperatures, a balmy minus 40! has been the norm throughout this week. Stay warm and have a great weekend everyone! - JD
