Crème Yvette, a 100-year old violet liqueur that ceased production in the late 1960s, has been rereleased. Blending fresh berries, vanilla, spices, and violet petals, the purple liqueur has an understated sweetness that really comes alive when mixed with sparkling wine. Toast a February or March birthday with this refreshing aperitif - a colorful addition to the drink menu. From Martha Stewart. Ingredients:

ice cube |
4 ounces prosecco |

2. Strain into a small glass.
3. Top with Prosecco.
4. Serve with a lemon-peel twist.
