How To Prepare Purple Haze Drink Recipe?
Ingredients
- 1 oz. Vodka
- 3 oz. (6 tbsp.) Sour Mix
- 3 oz. Cranberry Juice
- Ice cubes

Preparation
1. Add the vodka and sour mix to a cocktail shaker.
2. Add ice cubes until the cocktail shaker is almost complete. Don’t fill to the top because this will cause some overflow when you start shaking it.
3. Cover with a cap and shake until everything is well combined and chilled.
4. Pour over ice into your favorite glass (martini, highball, wine, or champagne). Add in the cranberry juice while it’s still in the shaker, and then add that over ice.
5. Garnish with a slice of orange, lemon, or lime. Serve & enjoy!
Cool TIP:
This drink can be ‘served’ over ice; however, sometimes, the alcohol will bubble up from the liquid and then evaporate. It is a known issue with our cocktails, but it’s important to note that you might get a few drips from the bottle when you pour it into your glass – this is normal and not a cause for concern!
