We have a new variation for 2023 from the US. The Indictment Cocktail. All the same White Russian ingredients but with a thin orange skin garnish, as well as some bling bling gold leaf to class it up!
Simon, do you have a preference for crème de violette? I have three :/ all very different. A Giffard's (more syrupy but is in fact CdeV); Tempus Fugit (from here in Switzerland,gives a beautiful color but a more 'fade' aroma); and one from Distiillerie Salamandre in France. I recall there was an Austrian brand that came out in the early- to mid- 2000s that was maybe the 1st CdeV exported into the US since a long time. Any other brands you like? My violette collection cannot be big enough! :P
