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
