I've sent a note to Rhonda (contact detail below). Take note that the minimum is for a mix of products (it should read min/mix) from the Alpenz line, not of one item. This is necessary b/c the minimum shipping cost (w/control state handling) is just over $30. We realize this is a burden for someone wanting just one bottle, but we wanted the products reasonably priced for on-premise use. We'll get the Allspice Dram and Velvet Falernum special-order listed soon.

Foiled again! Now I have to assume there's a conspiracy. All my rabble-rousing on the internets has put the PLCB on guard, and as soon as they discovered what it is that I <strong>really</strong> want, they took it away. Evil. I will attempt to place the special order anyway. And you can bet that I will report back here on the results. Curses! Foiled again!

Second: Boo on the three bottle minimum!! I should expect that, though, from a state that wants me to buy a case of beer instead of a six-pack. But third: So that's one bottle for you, one for me, and then we just need to find someone else in the area who wants to mix up some <a href="http://spiritsandcocktails.wordpress.com/2008/02/10/violette-heaven-part-deux/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Attention Cocktails</a> or Aviations. Surely someone will seize this opportunity.... Then we just have to argue about who's going to take on the ordeal of placing the special order. Peterb,

But third: So that’s one bottle for you, one for me, and then we just need to find someone else in the area who wants to mix up some Attention Cocktails or Aviations. Surely someone will seize this opportunity….

Then we just have to argue about who’s going to take on the ordeal of placing the special order.

It's in their online catalog (not the one for consumers, the other one). 3 bottle minimum. I've never ordered it because of that. You can indeed special order Creme de violette from the PLCB.

I'd love a visit to Boston anyway, and the Violette and friendly company would make it even sweeter. Should you find yourself in the wilds of western Pennsylvania, give a holler too. We might not be able to make the most exotic of cocktails, but whatever we can devise will be tasty. Cheers, Pink Lady!
