Sky Blossom

The Sky Blossom cocktail is a classic mix of gin, maraschino liqueur, lemon juice, and creme de violette, which gives it a pale sky color and a gentle kick of alcohol. This fusion of citrus and floral notes creates a drink that's not overly sweet, offering a delightful balance of flavors. The first recipe for this cocktail appeared in 1916 in the book for mixed drinks, belonging to a German bartender living in America.
