With its unique, deep blue color and effervescent charm, this Champagne cocktail is perfect for New Year's Eve or any other festive occasion. The subtle floral hints of crème de violette pair perfectly with the bright, seasonal citrus and your favorite gin. Leftover crème de violette can be stirred into glazes for pastry or used to macerate berries.
