CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- Well I saw the thing comin' out of the sky. It had the one long horn, and one big eye. I commenced to shakin' and I said "Ooh-eee." It looks like a purple people eater to me.
It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater. One-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater. A one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater. Sure looks strange to me...
Happy Halloween, Chicago! If you are celebrating in any way, shape, or form you have to try this cocktail.
It's called the Purple People Eater.
Now, it does not have one eye or one horn, but it is purple and sure looks strange to me!
The Purple People Eater recipe calls for vodka, blue cucaçao, sweet and sour mix, grenadine, and cranberry juice.
And if you want, you can add a purple sugar rim to your glass.
So who's ready to mix things up?
