Purple Rain is a moody, floral sour with a colour that lives up to the name. Gin’s crisp botanicals make the backbone. Crème de violette adds a soft, perfumed violet note and the dusky purple hue, maraschino liqueur brings a subtle cherry-almond funk, and fresh lemon keeps it sharp. The result is delicate, a little dramatic and very pretty in the glass. It’s a great choice for gin lovers, for floral-cocktail fans, or for anyone who wants to toast a certain purple-clad legend.
Fill a shaker 2/3rds with ice and add the ingredients. Shake until chilled. Pour into a chilled Nick and Nora.
