It’s pretty frustrating going to bars and ordering a drink that a bartender doesn’t know how to make.
It’s worse when those bartenders give you a look like you don’t even know what you’re talking about.
Well, I do know what I’m talking about, thank you very much.
At a wedding about a year and a half ago, my cousins and I did shots. One of these shots was called “Purple Fuck.” It’s become apparent most bartenders have never heard of this drink before. Out of my frustration, I decided to look up the recipe on the internet to make sure that I wasn’t asking all the bartenders in Toronto for a drink that didn’t exist.
The recipes I found were similar to the Purple Fuck I had, but there were some differences.
Ingredients:
- 1 oz sambuca
- 1 oz tequila
Drinking directions:
- Take two shot glasses: fill one with sambuca and the other with tequila. Use a straw to sip the sambuca; meanwhile, have someone else slowly fill the glass with the tequila shot. It starts off sweet, but becomes pretty disgusting. If your face goes purple, you are the “Purple Fuck.”
If anyone knows of another way to make this drink, please feel free to comment. And for all you bartenders out there, consider yourselves warned: I will ask for this drink!
