Purple Rain #1

A bright, easy-drinking highball that balances gin's botanical backbone with tart cranberry and a sweet citrus pop from Blue Curaçao. It pours a striking royal purple and finishes fizzy and slightly tart from sour mix and soda, great when you want a visually impressive, refreshing cocktail with approachable flavors.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 oz Gin
  • Fill Cranberry Juice
  • 0.25 oz Blue Curaçao Liqueur
  • 0.25 oz Sour Mix
  • 0.25 oz Soda Water

Instructions

  1. Fill a highball glass with ice.
  2. Pour the gin over the ice.
  3. Top the glass with cranberry juice, filling it nearly to the rim.
  4. Add a splash each of Blue Curacao, sour mix, and soda water.
  5. Using a cocktail shaker, gently mix the contents to combine the flavors.
  6. Evaluate the color and add more Blue Curacao if necessary until the drink reaches a royal purple hue.
