Story and flavor
A floral, slightly herbaceous twist on a gin martini, combining gin, dry vermouth, crème de violette and a whisper of absinthe. The violet and licorice notes lend a delicate complexity, while the base gin gives structure. The cocktail’s name nods to the darkly comedic Broadway play, simultaneously elegant and mysterious.
