quality versus quantity does not have to be a winner-take-all proposition.

How different is this from the B-Side cocktail with creme de violet? If you remember that one (maybe vodka, lemon juice, cDv?).
That was Brother Cleve's Stardust that he created there before crème de violette became available in the market. The Stardust was essentially a lemon for lime version of the Royal Daiquiri with a rum, Parfait Amour (violet, vanilla, fruit), and lemon. This differs (besides the base spirit) is grapefruit and Maraschino. Parfait Amour has a candy note to it where as CdV is more just floral.
One night, I ought to dust off my Parfait Amour and pay tribute to Brother Cleve with that Boston classic.
