A delicious (and unpleasant!) mixed drink that gets its purple tone from blue curacao, grenadine, and cranberry juice. A superbly purple mixed drink for any gathering!
I'm somewhat inclined toward the sugar sprinkles, yet once I was finished eating those off the glass (no judging!) I found that the beverage was similarly as great.
Obviously, I've generally been a devotee of pretty much any beverage that incorporates grenadine. I'm speculating that originates from my adolescence, back when I thought I was A Pretty Big Deal at eight years of age while I tasted on my shirley sanctuary at supper.
Concerning the remainder of the fixings: sweet and harsh blend is another great staple to the vast majority of the beverages I like and Blue Curacao is an ongoing must-have alcohol I just found for the current year. In the event that you haven't effectively loaded up on it, I very prescribe you add a container to your alcohol bureau!
