Parma Violet Gin

Expertly distilled to combine the unmistakable taste of Hooting Owl Distillery artisan gin with the sweetness of floral Parma violet, this VIE fruit gin blossoms with flavour, aroma, and a deep, natural colour. A premium gin, perfect for cocktails.

The Aviation Cocktail. 

Classic sour gin cocktails, such as The Aviation Cocktail, are a great way for people to start really enjoying gin, especially those who don’t consider themselves gin fans or those that tend to opt for vodka-based drinks. A strong gin cocktail with a beautiful colour, this is our straightforward method for making it. Created in New York in the early 1990’s by a bartender by the name of Hugo Ensslin. Some recipes will omit the Crème de Violette which changes the colour and flavour slightly. For an alternative recipe, replace the Crème de Violette with our VIE Parma Violet Gin.
