Purple rain

What is a purple rain?

Fruity, long and colourful, the purple rain gets its distinctive hue from mixing together blue curaçao and grenadine.

Purple rain ingredients

Make sure you invest in the best ingredients, particularly a good-quality lemonade and a decent grenadine. For the latter, it's easy (and often cheaper) to make your own. Try our grenadine recipe here.

Purple rain bar hacks and garnishes

The recipe calls for a lot of grenadine but it's essential for that all-important purple colour. If that makes the drink a little sweet for your taste, try adding more lime juice.
