Purple People Eater Mocktail


  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup grape juice (preferably 100% juice for natural sweetness)
  • 1/2 cup lemonade
  • 1/4 cup cranberry juice (for a touch of tartness)
  • 1/4 cup blueberry syrup (for sweetness and a deeper purple color)
  • 1/2 cup sparkling water or lemon-lime soda (for a fizzy touch)
  • Ice cubes
  • Optional: 1-2 drops of purple food coloring (for a more intense purple shade)
  • Garnishes:
    • Fresh blueberries
    • Lemon slices
    • Purple rock candy
    • Fun-themed straws or drink stirrers

Instructions

Preparation:

Step 1:
In a large pitcher, combine the grape juice, lemonade, and cranberry juice. Stir well to ensure the flavors are thoroughly mixed.

Step 2:
Add the blueberry syrup to the mixture, stirring until well combined. This will give the drink a sweet flavor and enhance the purple color.

Step 3:
For a more vivid purple color, add 1-2 drops of purple food coloring and mix until the color is evenly distributed. This step is optional, as the natural juices may already provide a beautiful purple shade.

Step 4:
Fill a glass or mason jar with ice cubes. Pour the mocktail mixture over the ice, filling the glass about three-quarters full.

Step 5:
Top off the drink with sparkling water or lemon-lime soda for a fizzy touch. Stir gently to combine without losing the bubbles.

Step 6:
Garnish with fresh blueberries, a lemon slice, and a piece of purple rock candy for a whimsical touch. Serve with a fun straw or drink stirrer.

Notes

  • Make sure to use 100% fruit juice to avoid adding extra sugars.
  • If preparing for a party, you can mix the juices ahead of time and add the soda just before serving to keep the fizz.
