MoonLight
So many possibilities this week something mystical, something romantic, something full of werewolves?
1 ½ oz Gin
¾ oz Triple Sec
½ oz Violette Liqueur
¼ oz Lemon Juice
¼ oz Lime Juice
The picture doesn’t do this drink justice at all, in the flesh it is a beautiful mauve, but is it more style over substance. Now don’t get me wrong I love violet, one of my absolute favourites is an Aviation, but as I reached the end of this it was getting overpowering, it is one of those flavours where a little goes a long way.
The violette and triple sec work wonderfully together and I really like the mix of lemon and lime, if only the violet weren’t quite so strong.
Will I make this again, absolutely yes, will Sinead be sick to death of violet as I make multiple versions with minute variations in the quantities and force her to drink them, also yes.
Mix up a Moonlight and let us know what know what you think, or do you have another beverage entirely that fits the bill, something spooky I’m sure as the nights start to draw in!
