First Impressions
Riverside Spirits Parma Violet Shimmer is part of their decorative range — shake the bottle to activate the glitter shimmer. Parma violet with angelica and spice at 20%. The Cheshire preserve-maker's take on the retro sweet trend.
Tasting
The nose is sweet parma violet with gin aromatics. On the palate, fairly sweet with definite violet, angelica adding depth. The finish is violet sweetness.
The Bottom Line
Riverside Parma Violet earns a 6 for a shimmer liqueur with the visual wow factor. The angelica adds botanical interest beyond pure sweetness. Best with Prosecco or lemonade — the shimmer effect is a party trick worth trying.
