A Flower Power Martini is an easy showstopper for spring!

If you’re looking for a show-stopping twist on a classic gin martini that tastes as good as it looks - but is still incredibly easy to make - then look no further!

We’ve created this Flower Power Martini by adding a dash of Crème de Violette, the delicately floral liqueur that’s produced by macerating violet flowers in a neutral or brandy-based spirit to create a sweet, fragrant liquid.

And if you think this pretty purple cocktail looks familiar, that could be because Crème de Violette is also the star ingredient in the classic gin cocktail, the Aviation!

So if you love the subtle floral flavours of that top tipple, you’re guaranteed to enjoy this simple, three-ingredient Flower Power Martini.

Instead of an olive, this Martini works beautifully with a twist of orange peel to garnish (make sure you avoid the bitter white bits of pith, though). Alternatively, for real Instagram-worthy wow factor, why not try garnishing your cocktail with an edible flower? Check out our handy guide to flowers that are both safe and pretty to use as garnishes in your homemade cocktails.

Crème de Violette is available to buy on our online shop, along with a selection of handpicked vermouths and over 100 craft gins!
