Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 oz gin
- 1 oz lime juice
- 0.5 oz violette liqueur
- 0.25 oz lemongrass syrup
- Fresh blackberries for garnish
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients. Add 2 oz gin, 1 oz lime juice, 0.5 oz violette liqueur, and 0.25 oz lemongrass syrup into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
- Shake Well. Shake vigorously until the mixture is well chilled, about 15-20 seconds, ensuring all flavors are thoroughly mixed and the cocktail is cold.
- Strain. Strain the chilled cocktail into a pre-chilled coupe or martini glass for a clean presentation.
- Garnish. Add a few fresh blackberries directly into the drink or skewer them on a cocktail pick and rest it on the rim of the glass to enhance aroma and appearance.
Notes
- Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor.
- Chilling the glass beforehand keeps the cocktail cooler longer.
- Lemongrass syrup can be made at home by simmering lemongrass stalks with sugar and water, then straining.
- This cocktail is best served immediately to enjoy its fresh and vibrant flavors.
