Creme Yvette
Creme Yvette is a French liqueur of berries and violet petals, produced by Charles Jacquin et Cie, the company behind Jacquin's. It is bottled at 27.7% ABV (55.4 proof). The Liquor Barn lists Creme Yvette Liqueur in the 750ml bottle.
Creme Yvette is deep purple, with violet florals layered over blackberry, raspberry and wild strawberry, plus a little vanilla and honey. That makes it fruitier and rounder than a straight creme de violette. Bartenders use it in the Aviation (gin, maraschino, lemon and violet liqueur) for a purple hue and floral lift, and in the Blue Moon, a simple mix of gin, lemon and Creme Yvette. A splash in a glass of Champagne or Prosecco makes an easy violet sparkler. Use it in small amounts, a quarter to half ounce, since a little goes a long way.
