Sweet Violets are a beautiful find and have a very unique sweet pastelly taste and a strong scent. As a drink it can be used exactly like Creme de Violette but as it has been refined with over 20 other botanicals contained in our Gin made in Manchesters first Gin distillery; it is also equally as good on its own, with lemonade, mixed with ice cream or in baking! Sweet Violets supposedly were a gift from Zeus the king of the Greek pantheon as a comfort to Io for whom he loved but had to turn into a heifer to save her from Heras wrath! Try making an Aviator cocktail with this much superior violet Manchester gin liqueur!
