Violet Gin

Violet gin is a modern variation of gin that incorporates the essence of violets to achieve its distinct floral flavour and striking purple colour. Traditional gin is made by distilling neutral grain alcohol with juniper berries and other botanicals. Violet gin adds violet flowers to the botanical mix during or after distillation. This infusion not only imparts a sweet floral aroma and taste but also gives the spirit its signature lavender to deep violet hue. The use of violets in alcoholic beverages dates back to early 20th-century Europe, where florally infused spirits gained popularity. Today, violet gin is often enjoyed in cocktails to add vibrant colour and delicate floral notes.
