This drink was developed by Shannon Fristoe, General Manager and beverage director of Bayona, in New Orleans. She explains: "We wanted to design a drink around this terrific violet liqueur, but we didn't want it to be too flowery and too soapy tasting, which could have happened if it was on its own. We started adding various things, and fine-tuned it to this particular drink. As you pour the ingredients, the purple of the creme de violette floats around in the glass and settles in the bottom like a dark cloud — like a stormy morning."
