Spring Champagne Cocktail – Champs de Violette

One of the highlights of spring is certainly the parties. As the weather warms up, we love to host happy hours and dinners at our home. And with April coming to a close and more sunshine on the way, I have my mind on a new rotation of cocktails for the season!

First up is this simple yet effervescent spring champagne cocktail, made with just 3 easy ingredients, including Creme de Violette which gives the bubbly bevy a beautiful floral essence and fragrance of spring.
