Happy Hour Friday :: Violet Fizz

Did you see me this week on Curbly.com?  If you missed any of it - here are the links to my posts.  I hosted a little spring time party that is SO EASY to throw.  Especially if you follow my easy instructions. And start with a good cocktail.  A good cocktail covers for a few discrepancies in the meal.

In honor of our color of the month, I made my spring fling cocktail purple!  It's like a gin & tonic, but with a twist.  Chin chin!


Violet Fizz
1 part gin
1 part creme de violette
2 parts tonic water
squeeze of lemon
lemon zest

In a highball glass filled with ice combine gin, creme de violette, and tonic.  Stir with a swizzle stick and top with a squeeze of lemon and a piece of lemon zest.
