Violet Flag
| 2 oz. | vodka | |
| 1 oz. | cranberry juice | |
| 1/4 oz. | Campari | |
| 1/4 oz. | blue Curacao | |

Combine all ingredients in a shaker half-filled with crushed ice. Shake well and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. The recipe scales well in multiples of four.
The Violet Flag honors Rita Harrington on the occasion of her 75th birthday. Given the task of creating a violet-colored drink, mixologist Graham Ullrich experimented for days before achieving this lovely purple beauty. Not too sweet, not too sour, not too strong, the Violet Flag is a great aperitif.
