This striking, very floral, pale aquamarine-yellow riff on the Corpse Reviver No.2 (with crème de violette replacing Lillet Blanc) is not so far removed...

A bit too sweet and the creme de violette could use to be dialed back a notch in my opinion.

I generally prefer the Sascha Petreske version which leaves out the syrup and water. Cointreau and either Plymouth or Blue Coat gin work very well.

Best use of the violet that I've had so far. Delicious!

Trying to find the balance, but sub tequila for gin. Probably a reposado; blanco was a bit overpowering.

After reading the comments we decided to cut back on the sugar syrup and up the gin by 1/4 oz. Very pleasant, but still a bit sweet. Would try again but with 1 1/4 oz gin and no sugar syrup. Very good, just a bit sweet.

Subbing elderflower liqueur for the simple syrup lifts this drink to a higher realm.

The original equal parts recipe - 25mls each of creme de violette, gin, triple sec & lemon juice - plus 10mls sugar syrup & 4 or 5 drops of orange cream citrate is also delicious

Yummy!
