Arsenic and Old Lace Cocktail
1 1/2 oz gin
1/2 oz pastis
1/4 oz dry vermouth
1/2 oz creme de violette
A drink I found on CocktailDB.com when looking for drinks that contain Creme de Violette. I picked up this elixir on a recent trip to France, the stuff is virtually impossible to find outside of France so I was happy to grab a bottle.
The above drink is really dominated by the pastis, but after a couple sips the other ingredients started to come out a bit. The Creme de Violette was barely noticeable mid-sip after the gin before the pastis took over.
An interesting drink, perhaps reduce the pastis a little next time.
