How to Make Purple Passion
Sometimes made with pure grain alcohol, the Purple Passion has been given a number of names over the years, although many of those names can't be repeated in polite company. It has a reputation for being made in fraternity (and sorority) house bathtub-sized quantities with heaps of fruit randomly added in an attempt to imitate the appearance of a healthy, sangria-like cocktail. While a standard recipe exists, the only requirement is that the Purple Passion must contain clear alcohol and grape juice. Does this Spark an idea?
