Purple Rain (drink)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Purple Rain refers to at least two popular mixed drinks. The more common is a variation on the highball Long Island Iced Tea, substituting Chambord for Triple Sec and a Lemon-Lime soda for the cola. The other is a long cocktail made from vodka, lemonade, blue curacao and grenadine. The name of this version originates from the appearance of the drink as the grenadine is added as the final ingredient, since the sinking of the red grenadine through the blue of the other ingredients creates the impression of purple rain.[1] This drink has many various versions depending on the location where the drink is made.
