Apparently it’s a different crème de violet they use. I’m just happy I can get one right now.
Well that looks delicious! How was it?
For those curious, if you want a really vibrant color, I'd recommend Bitter Truth's Violet liqueur. I also recommend Rothman & Winters for a softer flavor. Giffard also makes a decent creme de violette at a cheaper price that still has a decent quality.
After all, aviations only use a quarter ounce of the stuff, the gin is the biggest influence on the taste.
It tasted normal. I was just surprised by the color. Usually it’s a much deeper purple.
I just had an Aviation for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Splendid.
It certainly looks pretty! How did it taste?
Could it be Parfait Amour? The Bols version I have is deep blue.
My wife took a picture of the bottle. It is “bitter truths violet liquor”
A place for conversation about cocktails, ingredients, home mixology, the bar industry or liquor industry, glassware - this is not an exhaustive list. If you think it's in some way related to cocktails it's probably fine.
If you post something you didn't create give credit whenever possible.

We love garnishes.
Remember the code of conduct, keep it nice. In terms of cocktails- specific etiquette that might be different from other communities:
Mentioning your blog, insta, website, book or bar is allowed, yes. For now at least, we do allow self-promotion. If it gets out of hand this might change.
A good post with a drink you don't like is still a good post! Try not to conflate the drink and the post or poster. If someone has a relevant title, gorgeous photo and clearly formatted recipe of what you consider a truly terrible drink, a comment is more appropriate than a downvote.
On that topic: Polite critique/reviews of drinks (or posts, images, etc.) is allowed here. Encouraged , even. It's a good tool for improving your drinks and content. Really, just be nice.
