Equipment

  • 1 L pitcher

Ingredients
  

  • 250 ml tequila
  • 100 ml creme de violette
  • 150 ml fresh lime or lemon juice
  • 100 ml simple syrup * see notes for a quick recipe
  • ice
  • salt

Instructions
 

  • Add all the ingredients to the pitcher and mix with a long spoon
  • Make salt rims by brushing the edge of the glass with a lime or lemon and dip in the salt
    (do this to only half of the glass if not sure)
  • Serve in salted glasses with some fresh violets on top

Notes

For a super-fast simple syrup, you will need 50:50 sugar to water ratio. 
You can pour boiling water over the sugar and mix until melted. 
Or add cold water and sugar to a blender and blend until smooth.
Both are good in the fridge for a couple of days up to a week.
