We got some new syrups from Monin the other day. They've got good concentrated flavor and we use them for cooking and drinks all the time. Here's a refreshing cocktail, the Violet Fizz, that has a beautiful deep purple color and a slight flowery flavor.
Fill a highball glass with ice.Add 1 1/2 oz. Vodka
1 1/2 oz. Violet syrup*
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Fill with club soda
Stir gently, garnish with lemon.
*Available online from Amazon or other online retailers.Update: I seem to have reinvented the wheel! There is another recipe out there for Violet Fizz, and it uses crème de violette and sugar instead of the syrup. Sounds even better but the liqueur is rather hard to find.
