## Cocktails

- [Arsenic and Old Lace](https://stirred.fyi/cocktails/arsenic-and-old-lace.md): Violet perfume threads through a dry gin Martini while a discarded absinthe rinse leaves only an anise shadow, making this modern normalization much lighter than the startling 1941 namesake.
- [Aviation](https://stirred.fyi/cocktails/aviation.md): A floral gin sour with maraschino, lemon, and the violet hue of crème de violette.
