One of my favorite cocktails is the Atty (first had it at the The Diamond, made by Josh Pape). The Atty is very dry, refreshing, just lightly sweetened with a bit of anis from absinthe. The violet colour is simply beautiful, I think. I like wiping the rim of the glass with lemon and adding a tiny drop of lemon juice, so it makes a colour gradient from purple to lighter at the bottom.
ATTY from the savoy cocktail book (1930)
45 ml Dry Gin
23 ml Noilly Prat Dry Vermouth
3 Dashes (½ tsp) Le Fée Parisienne (68%) absinthe
3 Dashes (½ tsp) Crème de Violette
Stir in a half ice-filled mixing-glass until chilled, pour into pre-chilled cocktail glass and squeeze lemon peel over a glass and float it on top. mmm fancy!
I could not find Creme de Violette in Amsterdam so just used local Bols Perfait Amour instead.
