Try These Gin-Tastic Purple Cocktails If You’re In The Mood Of Something New

I believe colours are significant in food and cocktails. They need to be appealing to the eyes. A gory yellow or a grisly green is simply unappealing. That’s why I don’t like palak paneer. Sorry! I tried it from different restaurants and even made it at home but I figured it was unattractive. 

So, when I stumbled on this purple cocktail trend, it opened a wide array of purple drinks I never knew existed. I discovered a whole new world. This new discovery got me trying new purple drink recipes at home.

So, behold! Below are the two great purple recipes I have experimented and concocted right at home. You can thank me later.

1. Purple Gin & Tonic 
Add a hint of purple to your already fave G&T!

Ingredients
45ml Tanqueray Gin 
1 large lime, juice only
1 tsp organic acai powder 
1 bottle tonic water (just to top with) 
Ice

Method
In a cocktail shaker, add Tanqueray gin, juice from 1 lime, acai powder and ice.
Shake for 30 seconds with ice so that acai can turn the mixture purple.
Strain and pour it in an ice-filled cocktail glass.
Top it off with tonic water and a purple flower.
