When the time is up, take your sterilised bottle and using a funnel with some muslin or a coffee filter in it; strain the gin into the bottle. I found that it was best if I strained it twice, replacing the muslin with a new piece after the first straining. Doing this resulted in a clearer gin but didn’t seem to change the flavour much.It’s botanical lineup includes some interesting things like ginger and rose, but what comes through most prominently to me is crisp juniper and citrus. Tip your crushed Parma Violets into the jar with the gin. Screw the lid on as tight as you can and give it a really good shake. Put it to one side, shaking the jar daily for about two weeks. A little more or a little less time in the jar won’t hurt.

This gin should be served traditionally in a gin and tonic. The tonic tones down the heat of the peppery flavors this gin brings and makes for an amazing but stronger version of a gin and tonic compared to others on this list. Classically heavy on juniper, smooth and with plenty of citrus peels to balance the peppery juniper. Good in a martini, great in a G&T! You will be able to taste lemon, fresh basil, orange, vanilla and finally herbaceous spices. As the name may suggest, this is a relatively sweet version of a violet gin. First of all, it’s a gin liqueur which means that the Alcohol by Volume (ABV) of the gin is allowed to be lower than 37.5%. This drink has an ABV of 20%.

Has the same taste mixed with lemonade (I use schweppes) as a genuine crushed parma violet powder sweet, absolutely delicious.

This brand may not be extremely well-known, but their gins are amazing. Most of the time the parma violet is used in infusion with gins. The parma violet belongs to the exotic branch of the violet family. Most of these parma violets grow lavender flowers which have a striking fragrance. Violet gins are a lot less juniper-forward than standard gins and are also without a doubt a lot sweeter than a more basic gin like a London dry gin.

In this violet gin, you’ll definitely get the amazing aroma of violet flowers. It contains sweet notes of violet and orange, but this is perfectly balanced with strong juniper notes and other more subtle botanicals like coriander and licorice.The first thing I did was measure how much gin my decorative bottle would take. My bottle would hold 350mls of gin, so allowing for a little bit of wastage during the straining process, and me having a little taste, I measured out 380mls of gin and poured it into a large sterilised jar. The base gin for McQueen’s Violet Gin is their super premium dry gin. On the nose, this gin is strongly juniper led with a forestry aroma.
