Violet Vodka Slushy Recipe | Epicurious

Here’s the thing—you might never use crème de violette for anything other than this drink. But, boy, is it still worth schlepping to the store for this alone. It’s a fun, irreverent drink, easy to dismiss as juvenile or social-media-coded, but don’t be fooled by the pretty lilac color. Ultimately, this is a well-balanced frozen cocktail, with a healthy squirt of tart lemon juice to counteract the floral sweetness of the vibrant violet liqueur. If you’d like to make more than 2 drinks, work in multiple separate batches, rather than doubling or tripling up. Made in too large a batch, the ice cubes won’t break down evenly, resulting in a sad slush pile of a drink.
