ABOUT
This stirred cocktail was created by Pat Ray for The Violet Hour (Chicago). In “The Bartender’s Manifesto,” Ray describes that his goal was to create a vodka drink that people would order at The Violet Hour. It is inspired by his time in Japan where cassis (blackcurrant liqueur) is popular. Cheers y’all!
