Comments

Made with Golden Moon creme de violette and an ok Total Wine brand creme de cassis, pretty good. I could never imagine 3/4 of Rothman and Winter violette in any drink and I use the Golden Moon whenever it's more than 1/4 in a recipe. If using R&W I'd maybe just do 1/2 oz. It would still have enough sugar to balance the lime, or could add a bit of syrup too.
