Rainy Night
Muddle basil, mint, and a wedge or thick (1/4") slice of orange. Add gin, creme de violette, and campari and shake very well with lots of ice. Strain and serve up or over one large ice cube.
If you don't like how sweet Creme de Violette can be, and you don't like how bitter Campari can be, just mix them together! The layers of flavor in this drink are great.
- Seems a little sweet—maybe 1/4 large orange was too much? Also, a LOT of Creme de Violette. — ★★★★
- Gallflower — Gin, Bruto Americano, Rose liqueur, Herbal liqueur, Underberg bitters
- The Ice Pick — Genever, Crème de Violette, Maraschino Liqueur, Orange bitters, Lemon peel
mint seems out of place and campari with Creme de Violette don't work so well together. Added 1/4 Aperol and it was better. Maybe less violette as well?
