You’ll need only four ingredients to make it – vodka, blue curacao, grenadine, and purple Powerade – but you’ll really only taste one, the Powerade. This conforms to the formula of a sour – base liquor, a sweet ingredient, and a sour ingredient – with maraschino as the sweet ingredient.You may not have brewed it up in a cauldron, but there’s something a little bit bewitching about it, nonetheless. Depending on the product, the flavor profile of the liqueur often carries notes of herbal flavors, hints of citrus, and even fruity notes.

Cocktail lovers can use this liqueur to create anything from classic drinks like the Aviation or Vesper Martinis to more creative concoctions such as lavender lemonade or blueberry mojitos. The blue raspberry vodka and grenadine add a dry, fruity bitterness, but the strawberry lemonade base delivers most of the flavor. The result is a deep violet, almost black cocktail that’s entirely bittersweet but nonetheless delicious. All you’ll need for this four-ingredient, 5-minute cocktail is citron Absolut vodka, blue curacao, grenadine, and lemon-lime soda.To enjoy its full flavor profile, start by sipping it neat or over ice for the perfect balance between sweetness and herbal notes. If they're not already part of your arsenal, acquiring both crème de violette and maraschino liqueur may seem like a big deal. Here I’ve used lemon and mint to balance the sweetness and temper the heady, floral flavor of the violet liqueur. Depending on which peach ingredient you use, you may need to adjust the amount of simple syrup needed.
