Normally I’m a craft beer or Michigan wine kind of girl. But when this Sunday Supper theme was “welcome spring,” I knew that I wanted to do something with violets! They are always the first flowers to pop up in my yard. Now, after doing some research, I realized that there is no way I could ever pick enough to actually make my own violet liqueur. Luckily you can buy it.

So, welcome spring by taking the time to mix up this delightfully spring concoction.

The Verdict: I was a little wary of the cream and egg, but it added a nice fizz. This is my new go-to spring cocktail! Also, if you’re wondering what to do with any of the leftover violet liqueur, I discovered that it is spectacular with hard cider! 3/4 ounce of violet to 4 oz of hard cider.
