Andy's Purple Armageddon, or APA
This drink is traditionally consumed in pint glasses. This can be quite hazardous, as it makes you drunk "from the legs up". This property, combined with a taste much closer to skittles than alcohol can surprise the unwary.
The ingredients are as follows:
-
2 shots, Archers (or any peach schnapps)
-
2 shots, Blue Curacao (this is essential, do not replace with any other 'blue coloured' alcohol)
-
2 shots, Smirnoff (or any other vodka)
-
1 shot, blackcurrant cordial (or Creme de Cassis if you can find it)
-
1 small bottle (275ml), Smirnoff Ice (in extremis, this can be replaced by a combination of lemonade and more vodka)
For a cheaper, less expensive version, use single shots of the spirits.
In measures, that is something like:
-
2 measures, Archers
-
2 measures, Blue Curacao
-
2 measures, Smirnoff
-
1 measure, blackcurrant cordial
-
9 measures, Smirnoff Ice
