The Water Lily is a cocktail made with gin, crème de violette, orange liqueur such as triple sec or cointreau, and fresh lemon juice. It can be garnished with orange zest and served in a coupe glass.
The variation White Lily is made with gin, rum and Cointreau, and the anise-flavored French liquor pastis, omitting the violet liquor.
The Moonlight cocktail is identical to the Water Lily, except with lime juice in place of the lemon juice.
