Purple Cocktail Birthday Toast! - Friday's 5 o'clock Wet Your Whistle Call!


Friday’s cocktail is a two-fer toast to my dear friend Michele on her birthday! She has a particular fondness for the color purple and these cocktails make me think of her. A classy, sassy girl that knows how to have fun! Ciao Bella, birthday girl!

In the mood for something exotic?

Stardust

Ingredients:
2 oz light rum
1/2 oz fresh lemon juice

Pour all ingredients into a cocktail shaker and shake until chilled. Strain into a chilled martini glass and enjoy.
This is a lovely, lavender-hued drink known as the Stardust that gets it beautiful color from Parfait Amour which translates to Perfect Love. If you can’t find it locally, then you can purchase the Marie Brizard brand through DrinkUpNY.com.
