This cocktail gets it signature, iridescent blue color from the addition of Crème de Violette; a liqueur with natural and/or artificial violet flower flavoring and coloring.

Ingredients

1-1/2 ounces Dry Gin
1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice
1/2 ounce Crème de Violette
Orange peel zest to garnish

Directions

Place all of the ingredients, except for the orange twist, into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
Vigorously shake the mixture for 35 seconds and then double strain into a cocktail glass.
Garnish the drink with the orange zest twist and then serve immediately.
