We make Violet Wine Spritzer cocktails a lot, my wife loves them. This particular version is enhanced with the floral flavors of Creme de Violette Liqueur.
A violet wine Spritzer is a very simple yet elegant cocktail. the basic ingredients are, wine sparkling water, citrus juice and simple syrup. From here you can add a bit of any liqueur you like. In this case I added violet, which is intensely floral.

Really great cocktails are about balance, skill, and quality. If you think about it that is parable for life, and certainly for cooking. About 6 months ago my beautiful wife, daughter, and I went to Manhattan, and ended up at a high-end bar called “Death & Co”. I fell in love, this was cocktail heaven. My wife purchased their second recipe book for me called the “Cocktail Codex: Fundamentals, Formulas, Evolutions” when we got home. I learned I knew almost nothing about making a fantastic cocktail. The great news is it is not very hard to make great ones. I just needed an honest guide and practice. One caveat about this book; it is written by skilled bartenders for skilled bartenders. They have ingredients we mere mortals may never make, but it is very informative.
