Which Violette are you using?
I use a brand called Tempus Fugit - the only one I can find up by me other than Rothman and Winter. I have had the cocktail with Giffard and Benoit Serres, and prefer both.
Also, though the recipe calls for Plymouth gin, I prefer it with a more botanical, modern gin like Green Hat, Karner Blue, or Bluecoat.
My recipe is as follows:
- 2 oz gin
- 1/2 oz lemon
- 1/2 oz Maraschino
- 1/3 oz violette
Sometimes, when I'm misbehaving, I'll add some violette to a French 75 as well.
