Make A Purple Rain Champagne Cocktail







This cocktail is perfect for the Champagne lover who enjoys a little extra excitement. Whether or not your guests appreciate the slight deviation from the most decadent drink around, you'll be sure to get plenty of oohs and aahs when the drinks get poured. Show off your spontaneity, dance to Prince and watch it bubble.


Instructions








1. Decide how many people you'll ask to join in the excitement of your cocktail hour.


2. Purchase enough Champagne for your guests, along with blue and red food coloring. It's important to buy Champagne that tastes acceptable to you, since you won't be changing its flavor.


3. Open the bottle of Champagne (see Related eHows) and begin to fantasize about taking your first sip.


4. Listen to your favorite Prince song as you squeeze three blue drops and four red drops of food coloring into the open Champagne bottle.


5. Turn the bottle from side to side gently to let the food coloring disperse throughout. The liquid will slowly turn purple.


6. Pour the Champagne into glass or plastic Champagne flutes. Pass them around to guests, drink as you would any cocktail and/or use it as a fun opportunity for toasting.
