wow, that looks lovely! I’ve always wanted to try Creme de Violette but have never seen it- haven’t looked in a while but it seems I need to. Will be giving this cocktail a taste soon- thank you

I could not find a bottle locally. I had to order it online. I am going to try and convince one of my local stores to start carrying it.

Hey Cigar Smokin’ Fella,
I’ve had that same problem finding Creme de Violette over in North Carolina where reside. In fact, I have to travel 30 minutes south to the border of the next state just to find things like Benedictine anymore! Perhaps there’s hope, however; years ago, I ordered a bottle of Lillet Blanc for use in making the “Vesper” Martini of James Bond fame. At the time, New York was the best I could do at finding a company that sold it online, but now many wine stores right here in the Western NC area have begun carrying it. Maybe there’s hope for the classic liqueur featured in your Blue Moon also!
Fantastic cocktail, by the way. I’ll raise a glass to your good taste!
Cheers,
Micah A. Hanks
