Signature cocktail-How do i make it purple???

Like this

Food coloring! A little red and blue.

Creme de Violet and it tastes pretty good in a Rum drink :-)

Stephanie, I have a pinterest board with signature drinks. Quite a few of them purple. Take a look.

Thanks Ladies, You have put me on the right track! The things we girls do to make that day color coordinate lol

Its called a purple turtle but you could change the name..i like purple passion,love potion or purple haze for names.

1 oz coconut rum

1 oz triple sec

2 oz cranberry juice

½ oz blue curacao

Add ingredients to cocktail shaker filled with cracked ice. Pour through strainer into rocks glass. Garnish with a cherry and pineapple chunk on a skewer.

I think I have had something like this before at a melting Pot, Ill try it as well!

I wouldn't use food coloring...it will dye your guests' teeth!

@fawn...I just followed that board! I LOVE all the purple drinks on there, i've been having a similar dilemma as @Stephanie

Dont use food coloring. I hear it will make ur guest tummys hurt if they have more than 2.

Blue + red = purple. So take Blue Curaçao (which is blue) and any red juice - cherry, cranberry, whatever you like. Tada

Chambord is great, Creme de (or anyhthing) Cassis, Acai Berry Juice. They all have great flavor and you dont need to use lots to get the color you want... if all else fails, ask your caterer to boil some peeled beets! Use the water and there you have it. It has no flavor and even though it is water, it will not water down your drinks... they should also be able to make purple ice from the beet water...

Thanks! red juices dont really go well with coconut rum in my expereince nicole but ill definatley try it out!

I dont think a couple drops of food coloring in moderation will make people sick or stain their teeth. Sure too much would...Tons of food has food coloring, you'll eat more in a piece of cake. Blue Curacao and the like are filled with coloring.

Ive made pictures of margaritas and such and did a few drops of coloring, no stained teeth or sickness. I think too much of it could make you sick.. Maybe some caters/cake bakers could chime in on food coloring.

For using red you can just use grenadine, Its just red sugar basically, they say cherry but doesnt taste like cherry at all IMO. lol

What are you using as a mixer? I think a pina colada/pineapple mix would be yum! Make the mix by the pitcher and just add ice/booze.

I was going to suggest something with blue curaco and cranberry juice, but heather beat me to it! that drink sounds yummy! if you wanted the rasberry flavor, you could just cran-raz...
