Description

Breathing in the scent of this sweet violet infused vodka is heavenly. Drink on its own or blend with a little carbonated water and sweet violet syrup for the full violet vodka cocktail experience.

Ingredients

• 250 ml vodka
• Sweet violets (enough to fill half the bottle)
• 1 tsp unrefined sugar

Steps

1. Tip the (clean) violets into the vodka and leave for 2-3 days. The flowers will fade and the liquid will start to take on their colour, at this stage strain off the flowers and store the vodka in a dark cupboard. I found that after a week the vodka changed from violet coloured to a very pale tan colour, so drink fast (and sensibly) if colour is important to you.
2. To get the most of the flavour, I drink this in a small shot glass on its own, perhaps with a quick rub of lemon on the rim and dunked in quick violet sugar.
