As we mentioned above, this type of gin is infused with flowers from the violet family. Infusion with violet flowers creates a very distinguishable scent and flavor and often this infusion also leads to the violet hue that violet gins have. For others, however, this added sweetness and less bitterness may mean that they might actually like a gin for the first time. But if you’re looking to experiment a bit more with this gin, you should definitely try a negroni! Two Birds Parma Violet Gin Gin starts out as a neutral grain spirit similar to vodka.

This also goes for Whitley Neills Parma Violet Gin.
