Another day, another delicious-sounding flavoured gin we can't wait to try. If you fancy sprucing up your G&T for spring (side note: c'mon sun! Hurry up!) then we have the perfect solution: a sweet violet liqueur that is currently the number one bestselling spirit on Amazon UK.
Created by a little-known distillery in Manchester, Zymurgorium Sweet Violet Gin is described as having a 'sweet pastel taste', and apparently 'tastes like the Parma Violet sweets of our youth'. Yum. Yum. Yum.

The makers recommend drinking it straight, mixing it into a cocktail with lemonade, drizzling it over ice cream or even adding it to your favourite bakes.
We also reckon it would taste pretty damn delightful with tonic or Prosecco, too.
As well as being Amazon's top-seller right now, the sweet violet gin also has a five-star rating, with tons of positive reviews from gin fans who love it. "If you like parma violets, then buy this! Really lovely treat", wrote one person, while another added: "It really is delicious!"
A 50cl bottle will set you back £28.73, and it's worth a try, right?
