Rating

3.89 / 5
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.
