Instructions

Inspired by Prince's iconic "When Doves Cry" and the enigmatic aura of the artist himself, the Purple Rain Serenade is a cocktail that embodies the essence of mystery, elegance, and artistic genius. This vibrant purple drink is not only a feast for the eyes but also a melody of flavors that sing in harmony with every sip. Served in a chilled coupe glass, it's a tribute to a legend, designed to evoke emotions as deep and complex as the artist’s music. Ingredients: - 1.5 oz Gin (Preferably a floral one) - 1 oz Crème de Violette (to achieve the signature purple hue and floral notes) - 0.5 oz Maraschino Liqueur (for a hint of sweetness and complexity) - 0.75 oz Fresh Lemon Juice (to add brightness and balance) - A splash of Soda Water (to add a gentle fizz) - Edible Glitter or Purple Sugar (for rimming the glass, optional) - Garnish: A lemon twist or a few edible flowers for an artistic touch Instructions: 1. If you're opting for the glitter or sugar-rimmed glass, start by moistening the rim of your coupe glass with a lemon wedge, then gently dip it in edible glitter or purple sugar set on a plate. 2. In a cocktail shaker, combine gin, Crème de Violette, Maraschino Liqueur, and fresh lemon juice. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. 3. Strain the mixture into your prepared coupe glass. Top it off with a splash of soda water for a subtle effervescence. 4. Garnish with a lemon twist or edible flowers to echo Prince’s flamboyant style and the artistic essence of the When Doves Cry album. The Purple Rain Serenade is more than just a cocktail; it's an experience, a tribute that encapsulates the spirit of an icon in a glass. Designed to stir emotions and provoke contemplation, it’s perfect for those moments when you want to sip on something truly special.
