Crème de Violette is a liqueur made from the petals of violets.  It has a sweet, floral flavor with hints of violet and often has a slightly purple or blue color. It’s commonly used in cocktails to add floral notes and a touch of sweetness.  While not as widely used as some other liqueurs, crème de violette has gained popularity in recent years as craft cocktail culture has grown. It’s often sought after for its unique flavor profile and its ability to add a sophisticated twist to classic cocktails.
