Purple Crested Potion of Persuasion - DnD Inspired Cocktail

Ingredients

• 0.5 cup granulated sugar (for simple syrup)
• 0.5 cup water (for simple syrup)
• 1 tsp simple syrup or lemon juice (for rimming the glass)
• 1 tbsp purple sugar (for rimming the glass)
• 1.5 part vodka
• 1 part blue curacao
• 1 part lemon and lime juice (mixed)
• 1 part cran-grape juice
• 1 part grenadine
• 3 maraschino cherries (speared for garnish)

Steps

1. 1

   If you are making your own simple syrup, combine the sugar and water in a pot and boil until the sugar dissolves, stirring occasionally. Save what you don't use for up to 1 month in the fridge.

2. 2

   Rim a glass with a paper towel wet with simple syrup or lemon juice.

3. 3

   Spread some purple sugar on a plate and place your glass rim-down into the sugar. Give it a slight shake to get it thoroughly coated and set the glass aside.

4. 4

   In a cocktail shaker, mix all the drink ingredients (vodka, blue curacao, lemon/lime juice, cran-grape juice, and grenadine) with a few large cubes of ice.

5. 5

   Shake for 10 seconds.

6. 6

   Place some fresh ice into your glass and pour the drink in, straining out the ice in the shaker.

7. 7

   Serve with some speared maraschino cherries to adventurers before they need to bribe a guard to look the other way during their next heist!

Notes

This is a quick, delicious cocktail with some gorgeous colors. Packed with a ton of flavors, it's great for berry lovers and easy to put your own spin on it with different juices. The purple sugar is fun to look at and adds a sweet zing to each sip. This potion grants any adventurer advantage on their next persuasion check!
