Their take on the classic Lemon Drop
@craftwellcocktails Purple Rain is an homage to the classic spring/summer beverage. Whether on the weekends or while celebrating with friends, the Lemon Drop cocktail is a fun sipper.
But, if you insist on sipping one of these, don’t pour yourself a helping as big as this. This is mostly for show. Instead, take this 20% ABV/40 proof sipper seriously and try it 2 ounces at a time.

Out of the bottle, Purple Rain produces nothing in the way of lacing or head. Under the white light, Purple Rain has a blushed indigo appearance and is clear.
Swirling and sniffing, we recover bright notes of lemon zest, orange blossom, and some floral notes. Truly, there is something almost vodka-like in the aroma.
Sipping, we recover notes that match the aroma along with some apple sweetness. Overall, Purple Rain has a strong mouthfeel, a definite alcoholic warmth, and a stickiness that remains.
