Violet Fizz

Impulse purchases.  I think we’re all guilty of them, and I’m especially a repeat offender when I’m in my local liquor store in the fancy liqueur section.  There is something absolutely mesmerizing about seeing all of the liqueur bottles lined row upon row, each one containing a different elixir, with promises of wild cocktails to […]
