Gin starts out as a neutral grain spirit similar to vodka. After this first distillation, a combination of different botanicals is infused with the clear spirit to create a unique taste pallet.

Their base gin for the Parma Violet gin is a multi-award-winning London Dry gin. This gin is an amazing spirit. It’s really smooth and crisp with great notes of juniper berries. It’s got 20 botanicals in the gin, although other than the sweet violets, the distiller doesn’t reveal which ones. This variety is mainly due to the fact that gin distillers all have a different base gin to create their violet gin with. Some gins are for instance more juniper-forward than others and will therefore taste more piney. Place the Electric Raspberry Gin Liquor in a tall serving glass, stirring in the lime juice and lemonade with ice. Sink the Grenadine and float the Blue Curacao. Garnish with Lemon. This gin is really sweet and is therefore amazing for drinking neat. You could also create a sweet ‘Pamplemousse spritz’ with this gin if it’s mixed with Aperol and pink grapefruit soda garnished with some grapefruit.

All the same, her data show that violet may have already peaked. “To be honest, we found that 2018 was the year of violet,” she says. “The Zymurgorium brand caused a huge spike. The biggest month we had was July 2018. We had a good long tail, but it’s not a trending product any more.” She says we should watch out instead for mead, vermouth, pineapple-spiced rum and orange gin. “We think that’s going to be huge,” she says, much in the same way a record label might have touted a hot new act in the past.
