- This cocktail has many names. The Attention Cocktail, The Atty Cocktail and finally Arsenic and Old Lace. This is a classic gin cocktail, same style as a Martini but with the addition of creme de violette and absinthe.
I make two versions to compare.
Standard recipe
3 dashes Absinthe
3/4 oz (22.5ml) Dry Vermouth
1/4 oz (7.5ml) Creme de Violette
2 oz (60ml) Gin
Stir, serve up and garnish with an orange twist.
Maison Premiere version
3 dashes Orange Bitters
1/4 oz (7.5ml) Absinthe
1/2 oz (15ml) Creme de Violette
3/4 oz (22.5ml) Dry Vermouth
1 3/4 oz (52.5ml) Gin
Stir, serve up and garnish with an orange twist AND a lemon twist.

Points for double stirring my friend! Always fun to see you and your shirts! Cheers!
Thanks! 😏😎
Haha, I think I'm running out of them now..gotta go shopping! 😆
Looks delicious!! Dave and I will see you tonight!! I'll have The Attention & Dave will have the Arsenic and Old Lace!!
Melissa! Idk why I didn't see this earlier, I'm sorry!
A bottle of creme de violette last about 1 year in our house. We love it. There are soo many versions of the Arsenic and Old lace. Now I have one more to try. Great video!
Thanks Stephane! What else do you make with it?
@@WhiskeySugarBitters this summer the bottle was crushed with the Bramblette
2 oz (60ml) Gin (used Brockman)
1 oz (30ml) Crème de Violette
¾ oz (22.5ml) Fresh Lemon Juice
¼ oz (7.5ml) Simple Syrup
Other times beside the Aviation the Eagle’s Dream (basically an aviation with egg white )
@@stephane.foisy.186 Bramblette? I'll have to try it!
I thought we were already watching your channel but I just had to re-up. 🤷🏻♀️ Super impressed with your energy & editing
Well, gosh darnit! Thank you! That really means a lot to me 🤗
Really fun to see the Swedish poster - ”Arsenik och gamla spetsar”. I saw that play at the theatre in Linköping in the 80s.
I'm so happy you noticed it :)
In the 80's..! How old were you then?? Must have been a kid, no? Like me.
@@WhiskeySugarBitters I’m 55. I think I did my military service. The theatre gave us recruits free tickets😁.
@@skogspekkaswe Haha, not bad! Free tickets? Ja tack! 😉
I love the purple color 💜
It's so pretty!
Very nice. The zest squeezes were the best :)
Yeah they came out pretty good 😆
JOHAN!!! Ok, I tried both versions, and they were great!!!! The second version with the 7.5 mil absinthe is def my speed!!!! THANKS!!!!
You tried them already?? Woaw, you work fast Tim! I'm so happy you tried them 😃
@@WhiskeySugarBitters I don't play around!!!!
@@TheSpiritoftheCocktail Haha, I'd say!!
B-Beefeater. 😂 Your attention to detail is unmatched. I’ve hesitated buying a bottle of Creme de Violette but now with four Johan cocktail recs, might be time to pull the trigger.
In my experience it goes surprisingly quickly
@@DavidRamseyIII I’ll find out soon enough. 🙂
@@CoachVinoLLC Ya can good real fast. 1 year average in our house.
Dude. I'm so happy you noticed that! 😁🙏 I didn't think anyone would!
@@WhiskeySugarBitters you should know by now Vino don’t miss a thang. 😝
Another excellent video!
Thank you good man!!
Nice, this is not a drink I remember having before. I will give it a try! Thanks!
It sure can be hard to use up that creme de violette. Thanks for the suggestion!
It's a struggle! My pleasure, I'm hoping it can help someone out there 😁
Awesome recipe as usual, always love seeing the more unusual ones with hard-to-utilize ingredients! I may have to pick up some creme de violette and just make all 4 of your cocktails. Cheers, Johan!
Thank you! I'm surprised they haven't launched a smaller size bottle of this liqueur yet.. 😄 But yeah, try em out! Cheers!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS! First human in!!!!
Great video! Haven't heard of this cocktail before, thanks for featuring it.
My pleasure! I'm happy I could introduce something new (and old...) 😃 Thanks for watching!
Just got home and made the Maison Premiere version. Delicious! I've mainly only used the creme de violette in a tom collins variation, nice to add these to the list!
Sweet man! Happy to hear it! :)
JOHAN!!!!! Shirt 9.75. Double stirring method which I've never seen, 10. Chances I'm trying both cocktails, 100%!!! These look way too good to pass up!!!! Nice video too!!!
Haha, thanks Tim! Yeah, I wanted to show off a little bit with the stirring (happy you noticed!!) 😉 I hope you like them!!
@@WhiskeySugarBitters How did some random person tell me you don't need bitters to make an Old fashioned?????
@@TheSpiritoftheCocktail haha, what..?
@@WhiskeySugarBitters Dont worry. I took care of business........
@@TheSpiritoftheCocktail Good!! 😆
Might try it someday with Parfait d´Amour!
Let me know how it comes out!
@@WhiskeySugarBitters Sure will!
Loving that color. Those are some strong drinks! Which one do you prefer?
They look pretty cool right? Definitely not for the weak lol, you just have to stir them WELL to dilute them enough. Hmm...I think it depends what mood I'm in to be honest. The MP version is a lot richer which I dig sometimes, and sometimes I just want something lighter and straightforward. I'm sure if I was sitting at their bar I would LOVE their version, kinda like when you're having a Pina Colada on a paradise beach..if you know what I mean.
Sped up music from cara Devine and a bunch of Tempus fugit on your shelf? I love you
😆 Haha, thanks man!
I don’t have any dry vermouth around but I do have Lillet Blanc. Do you think that would work or or maybe too sweet?
I absolutely think you should try it! But just like you said, it might be a smidge sweet so try with a 1/4 oz less to begin. OR scale the gin up a little bit to dry it out. But either way, I'm sure you can make it work with Lillet. Let me know how it turns out!
If anyone I knew wore that shirt they would look like a colossal tool; but on you - looks great. Must be the tattoos
Haha!! Jacob, you're one funny man! 😆 But thanks!
Johan, where did you find the smaller jigger with the 1/4 oz measurment?
Here's a link for you! amzn.to/3P9QlDE (And for the record, I am an amazon associate and can make money of any purchases through this link)
@@WhiskeySugarBitters awesome!
Does anyone find crème d violette a bit synthetic? … I looked at the ingredients and there’s a few dodgy e numbers
I'm sure they like to add some stuff to give it that extra purple color and flavor 😕🤷🏻♂️
@@WhiskeySugarBitters thanks for the response. I think its the brand I'm using. I will spend a bit more and upgrade. A little does go a long way with liquors
@@forumknight that could be it! I use Rothman And Winter :)
Haha! "I see purple people!" ...
😆😆 I'm a silly person, what can I tell ya.. And I like movies! 😃
@@WhiskeySugarBitters Kinda like me then :-).
wtf that double stir....now i can make at 7 cocktails at once 2 in each mixing glass and 3 in the shaker
Haha, EXACTLY! I wouldn't be able to shake 3 cocktails with 1 hand though, my hands are too small and I'd probably drop it 😆
I think it's ridiculous that liquor companies make 750's for these items that are barely used. Seriously , there are what, five cocktails that use this? Makes sense to make 375's or smaller !
I agree! If it wasn't for me having this channel, I probably would never buy it. And if I did, I'd try to split it with a couple of friends.
