Ingredients: 2 dash Angostura Bitters; 60 ml Cognac; 23 ml Grapefruit Juice; 8 ml Crème de Violette; 8 ml Crème de Mûre

🥃

Shake Cognac, Grapefruit Juice, Crème de Violette, CrèMe De Mure with ice. Strain into a coupe.

I wanted to explore new ways to use Creme de Violette beyond classic cocktails since it can be quite floral and overpowering. So I experimented with a variation on the Daisy cocktail, incorporating flavors that share alpha-anole with violets like celery, grapes, blackberries, and grapefruit.
