I am fascinated by the Rothman & Winter Crème de Violette Liqueur. I really like floral flavors, plus it reminds me of this candy we used to get in Ann Arbor, Michigan when I was a boy. Try this refreshingly, dry floral cocktail.

1 1/2 oz Vodka
1/2 oz Crème de Violette
1/4 oz Limoncello
1/2 oz Lime Juice
2 dashes of Fee Brothers Lemon Bitters
2 oz Sparking Mineral Water such as Topo Cico

Combine juice, vodka, bitters & liqueurs in a shaker with ice; shake well and strain into a a mini-highball glass with a couple cubes of ice, or something similar such as a Collins glass, well-packed with ice. Garnish with a little lemon twist.
