Alright, let’s talk about this Purple Passion beverage, whatever that fancy name means. I ain’t no bartender, mind you, just an old woman who likes a good drink now and then.
So, from what I gather, this Purple Passion thingy is a drink, a cocktail, you know, like them fancy folks in the city drink. Some say it’s got apple liquor, some red thing called Curacao, blue pineapple juice, and ice. They shake it all up and put it in a tall glass. Sounds kinda strong, they say it’s got 14% alcohol, whatever that means. That’s more than my homemade wine, I reckon.
Now, some folks, they remember this drink from way back when, like in the 80s and 90s. They say it used to come in a bottle, ready to drink. Said it tasted like grapes and had some strong stuff called Everclear in it. Everclear, that sounds like something you clean with, not drink! But I guess them city folks like it strong.
Seems like this drink changed a lot over the years. Some say it was strong, like real strong, and some say it wasn’t so strong. One fella even said his wife found it on somethin’ called eBay. Imagine that, buying a drink on that newfangled internet thingy! He said they used to take it on picnics and camping trips. Sounds like it was a good time drink, somethin’ to share with friends and family.
Now, if you wanna make this Purple Passion yourself, it sounds a bit complicated. You gotta get all them different liquors and juices, and you gotta shake it just right. I ain’t got time for all that shakin’. I’d rather just pour myself a glass of somethin’ simple, you know?
But if you’re feeling fancy, go ahead and try it. Just be careful with that Everclear stuff, it sounds powerful. You don’t wanna end up seeing double, unless that’s what you’re aimin’ for. Heck, if you want, maybe add a little splash of your own homemade somethin’-somethin’, nobody’s lookin’!
- First, you gotta get that apple liquor stuff.
- Then you need that red Curacao, whatever that is.
- Don’t forget the blue pineapple juice, sounds kinda weird, but okay.
- And of course, ice. Gotta keep it cold, especially on a hot day.
Shake it all up real good, like you’re churnin’ butter, and pour it in a tall glass. There you go, a Purple Passion, or somethin’ like it. Now, if you ask me, I’d probably just stick to my good ol’ wine, but you young folks like to try new things, I guess. Just remember, drink responsibly, or you’ll be feelin’ it in the mornin’.
So, is this Purple Passion any good? Well, I reckon it depends on who you ask. Some folks love it, some folks don’t. Me? I ain’t tried it, so I can’t rightly say. But it sounds like one of them drinks you gotta be careful with. It’s strong, it’s sweet, and it’s probably gonna make you feel a little tipsy. If that’s what you’re lookin’ for, then go for it. But if you’re just lookin’ for somethin’ to quench your thirst, well, there’s always water.
And if you can’t find all them fancy ingredients, don’t sweat it. Just mix up whatever you got on hand. A little bit of this, a little bit of that, and who knows, you might just come up with your own special drink. Call it the “Old Lady’s Surprise” or somethin’. Just make sure it tastes good, and don’t forget to share it with your friends. That’s what drinkin’ is all about, ain’t it? Good company and good times.
Anyways, that’s all I got to say about this Purple Passion drink. It sounds like a whole lot of fuss to me, but you young folks, you do what you want. Just be careful out there, and don’t drink too much. And remember, there’s nothin’ wrong with a good glass of somethin’ simple, like a nice glass of wine or maybe a cold beer. That’s good enough for me.
And that’s that, more or less.
