Observations

The outstanding characteristic of this drink is its hazy blue color. By moistening the rim of the glass with a piece of orange peel, and dipping it inverted in powdered sugar, it will, after the liquid has been poured in, take on the appearance of the moon. A pretty drink is the most that can be

said for it.

Creme de Violette is another sweet liqueur, distilled from the flower of that name. It is about 60 proof.
