Gabriel Boudier Crème de Viollete 500ml

Crafted in Dijon, France by the renowned maison Gabriel Boudier, this Crème de Violette is a delicate liqueur made from real violet flowers and a touch of cane sugar. It’s carefully macerated to preserve the natural aroma and colour of the blossoms, resulting in a liqueur that’s elegant, fragrant, and deeply evocative. A staple in pre-Prohibition cocktails, Crème de Violette is now enjoying a well-deserved revival.

Bouquet:
Gorgeously perfumed, with soft floral tones of fresh violets and a subtle suggestion of rose, lavender, and crushed berries. Airy and enchanting.

Palate:
Silky and refined. Sweet violet petals lead the charge, unfolding into notes of candied blueberry, citrus zest, and a gentle herbal lift. The finish is smooth, lingering, and delicately floral without ever becoming cloying.

Food Pairing:
A stunning addition to a classic Aviation cocktail or a splash in Champagne for a floral twist. Also delightful over vanilla panna cotta or paired with lavender shortbread for an aromatic treat.

Cellaring:
Designed for long enjoyment. Store upright in a cool, dark place—best consumed within 3–4 years for optimal flavour integrity.

Interesting Fact:
Crème de Violette was once nearly impossible to find outside of Europe—its recent revival has brought back vintage cocktails like the Aviation and the Blue Moon to modern bars around the world.
