So, this is stolen from somewhere else, but we can't remember where. We also didn't get the recipe from them, so we made it up as we went along.
What we knew was that it needed to taste of parma violets; that it needed a bit of fizz in some form; and that overall it should be flower-flavoured and a good pairing with rose flavoured turkish delight.
So, this is it!
Method
First make some stock syrup with the violet variation
Put the gin, sherry, syrup, bitters and some ice in a cocktail shaker and make it cold:
Shaken, stirred,;I don't care - I usually stir and then get rid of the ice because it's better to get rid of it in my opinion rather than smashing it into the drink to dilute it.
Pour into two cocktail glasses, add the cava, and top up with tonic.
That's it!
