Purple People Eater Mocktail

Yields: 1 drink

Prep time: 5 minutes

What You Will Need

• Measuring spoons

• Glass

• (Optional) cocktail shaker

• (Optional) ping pong eyeballs or gummy eyeballs

Ingredients

• ½ ounce (1 Tablespoon) grenadine

• 2 drops blue food coloring

• 6 ounces lemonade (or substitute sparkling water or lemon lime soda) (¾ cup)

• Lemon wedges

Instructions

1. Cut a thicker ring of lemon, approximately ¼ inch thick. Cut the circle into triangles. Cut a small slit into the middle of the rind edge of the triangle, just past the rind (not too far up) and not on a seam of the lemon segments. Set these aside.

2. Pour the grenadine and blue food coloring into the glass. Stir to combine so it is purple.

3. Fill the glass with ice.

4. Pour the lemonade (and sparkling water/lemon lime soda if using) on top. Stir gently if needed for the drink to blend.

5. Garnish with a lemon wedge on the rim and a ping pong eyeball. Serve.

Notes

• Gummy eyeballs are a great option, but do not float. If using, you will need to prop them up on top of the ice. They also tend to be flat and not round.

• You can find ping pong eyeballs at a dollar store or online.

• Make ahead for the group easily by increasing the quantity of supplies and mix into a punch bowl or pitcher.

• Large batch math:

• 1/2 cup = 4 ounces

• 1 cup = 8 ounces

• 1 ounce = 2 Tablespoons
