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.

INGREDIENT_SUBSTITUTIONS

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.
