PurplepeoplepleaserCocktail recipe
Rating
The Purplepeoplepleaser cocktail is a vibrant and visually striking drink designed to be served in a pitcher, making it suitable for sharing and social gatherings. The combination of WKD Blue and WKD Red creates a striking purple hue that is as pleasing to the eye as it is to the palate.
The addition of vodka introduces a smooth, clean spirit base that amplifies the alcohol kick without overpowering the fruity and sweet tones provided by the alcopops. The flavour profile of the Purplepeoplepleaser is thus a playful balance between the sweet berry-like notes of the WKD components and the neutral spirituous backdrop of vodka.
It's typically enjoyed cold, adding a refreshing element to the experience.

FAQ's
How does the alcohol content of a Purplepeoplepleaser compare to that of a standard cocktail?
The alcohol content of the Purplepeoplepleaser is 5.86%, which is relatively low compared to standard cocktails, which typically range around 10-20% alcohol by volume (ABV). This makes the Purplepeoplepleaser a lighter option, suitable for those who prefer drinks with lower alcohol content.
What is the best way to serve a Purplepeoplepleaser?
The best way to serve a Purplepeoplepleaser is cold, in a pitcher glass as intended. Since it's not shaken but stirred, ensure you mix it gently before serving to combine the ingredients evenly without creating too much dilution. It's perfect for sharing, making it a great option for gatherings.
Are there any recommended substitutions for the ingredients in a Purplepeoplepleaser?
If you're unable to find WKD Red or WKD Blue, you can substitute them with any similar fruity alcopop or flavored alcoholic soda that has red and blue variants. The key is to maintain the color profile and the sweet, fruity taste that characterizes the Purplepeoplepleaser. As for the vodka, any clear vodka will do, but you can adjust the quantity based on desired alcohol strength.
What occasions are most suitable for serving a Purplepeoplepleaser?
A Purplepeoplepleaser, with its unique color and lower alcohol content, is perfectly suited for casual get-togethers, summer parties, or themed events where a fun, visually appealing drink can add to the ambiance. Its easy-drinking nature makes it a hit among guests who prefer lighter cocktails.
Is there a non-alcoholic version of the Purplepeoplepleaser?
Yes, to create a non-alcoholic version of the Purplepeoplepleaser, simply omit the vodka and use non-alcoholic versions of flavored sodas similar to WKD Red and WKD Blue. This substitution retains the visual appeal and fruity flavor of the cocktail, making it inclusive for non-drinkers or those who prefer alcohol-free options.
