Ingredients: 3 dash Angostura Bitters; 45 ml Gin; 23 ml Lemon Juice; 23 ml Campari; 30 ml Crème de Violette

Gin and Campari bring a bitter, citrusy backbone, lemon juice adds sharpness and crème de violette a floral sweetness. Created by Carl N. in 2025.

The Wild One, credited to Carl N. in 2025, pairs a generous measure of crème de violette with plenty of Campari, which was reportedly added to balance the drink. The unusual combination is what made it stand out.
