Violet Champagne Cocktail - The Elizabeth Taylor

Alison Needham

Elizabeth Taylor once famously said, “Pour yourself a drink, put on some lipstick, and pull yourself together.” We concur! This lovely violet-hued and flavored champagne cocktail will surely help make any event more festive. The cocktail was invented by bartender Michael Robertson in 2007 at the Driftwood Room in Portland, Oregon. The original recipe calls for garnishing with an Amarena Cherry and is served in a champagne flute.
