This cocktail is perfect for those who enjoy a fruity twist to their vodka drinks, with the grape juice adding a delightful sweetness that balances the spirit’s potency.

The origin of the Purple Cow cocktail is somewhat obscure, but it shares its name with a whimsical poem by Gelett Burgess, published in 1895.
