    the only purple-ish drink I can think of is a shot called the Red Headed Sl*t, which of course you would have to pick a different name for. They are good, though! :)

    Good luck!

    The given name of this drink has a really bad word in the name, so I’d suggest renaming it for your wedding, but the combination is SOOOOO tasty.

    1/2 oz vodka
    1/2 oz Southern Comfort® peach liqueur
    1/2 oz amaretto almond liqueur
    1/2 oz DeKuyper® Razzmatazz liqueur
    1/2 oz sweet and sour mix
    1/2 oz 7-Up® soda

    Color wise a drink that comes to mind is a “pornstar” its Blue Curaco, Rasberry sourpuss and sprite. Tastes like a blue slushy. Change the name to something that fits your theme and your set.

    Purple Hooters are delicious and oh, so purple- I don’t know how they’re made, but they can be found in most any bartending guide.

    Here are some suggestions for names (since you can’t call it a “purple hooter” at a wedding):

    So Grape Together (Assuming it’s a grape-flavored drink)

    Love in Lavender

    Or you don’t have to mention the color (everyone can see it’s purple!) and just call it “Love Potion #9″ or something like that.

    Another idea- your new last name + “tini” (Example: Johnson-tini)

    Here is a good site you might also want to check out for drinks.

    In regards to names, what about something like – Purple Passion? Lilac/Lavender Lovers? Or Lavender/Lilac Love…
    I don’t know – maybe you could try to do something cleaver with your names. Like my name is April and his name is Tim so we had an April-Timmy (Apple Martini)
    I hope it helps a little bit. Good luck! ?

  8. Make a special martini and just add red and blue food coloring to it. :)

    I think you should make the purple drink, garnish it with a pear slice and call it “the perfect pear” It sounds so cute!
