Need ideas for purple drinks please!

crescendogal, on May 21, 2016 at 6:12 PM Posted in Planning 0 17

We are looking for signature his n hers cocktails....something purple preferably. We are not huge drinkers and don't do the bar scene so are lacking here. We've tried Vinique, and although it sure is pretty, it is not something we like....although maybe mixed would be better? I like a good margarita and he drinks $$$ whiskey or rum straight. I've googled and pinterest'd till I'm blue in the face....LOL

    My FI said he and a friend accidentally created what they called the Purple Rain (before Prince passed) which was grape fanta and vodka. Idk, they said it was so good but I'm not sure how drunk they already were at that point lol.

    I've tried lavender liquor and a few mixed drinks with lavender in it. Loved them all, but lavender's one of those flavors not everyone likes. There's also violet liquor or adding purple dye to a clear cocktail.

    People sort of have to be prepared for the taste, but creme de violette is purple and an aviation is a fancy prohibition era purple cocktail.

    You could always make a pornstar... lol awkward name. I'd rename it.

    1/2 oz Blue Curacao liqueur

    1/2 oz Sour Pus® raspberry liqueur

    I usually mix it with sprite rather than serving it as a shot. It's purple though. Only purple drink I can think of.

    Lavendar + lemon is always good as a "hers". And you could add blackberries or blueberries to a margarita and make it purple. I also make a cocktail with blackberry, lemon, thyme, whiskey, honey, and club soda that is purple that would make a good "his".

    Viniq is definitely best when mixed with things!! Some friends used it in their signature cocktail. I don't like it alone, but mixed is amazing. Let me see if I can find what they put in theirs.

    ETA: can't find it, but I think it had pineapple juice, cranberry juice and Sprite in it

    I think you're better off just serving a good regular drink with purple straws, cups, accents. Maybe some lavender infused simple syrup so they taste purple (I can't think of a better way to say that, but kwim?)

    Wonder Woman! Liquid ice (energy drink you can only get at the liquor store) and X Rated. Can be done as a shot or drink!
