My husband mistakenly added creme de violette instead of elderflower. It was fabulous! Of course the color was fairly awful, but I named his version the Grey Flannel Suit.
Violet Mayflower Martini
Gin, Apricot liqueur, Apple juice, Crème de violette, Lemon juice
I loved this! I actually added more lime and more maraschino and eliminated the sugar syrup. I don't like sweet cocktails, and this made it perfect for me.
I found the rosewater overpowering. My second attempt reduced the rosewater by 2/3, making it far less cloying.
A bit too sweet for me. I upped the vermouth content to make it more palatable.
