Grape Ape Drink: the purple people eater

This Grape Ape drink is a big, purple cocktail that is sure to please your taste buds. This drink is likely named after the cartoon character with the same name.

What is a grape ape drink?

A great ape cocktail tastes like a fizzy very strong grape juice. It is a combination of vodka, sprite or lemon lime soda and grape juice.

If you love grape juice, this drink will be right up your alley (and you might also try the Transfusion drink as well). It really is mostly the grape juice flavor that you will get with just a little fizz and a little alcoholic bit.

The fizz obviously comes from the subtle lemon lime soda. And vodka is known for being pretty tasteless other than it’s sharp alcohol after-bite. So, it’s not surprising that the grape juice is the main flavor in this one.

This cocktail is perfect for spring and summer time with its refreshing and cool fruit flavor. The color makes it a fun drink for parties or other get togethers.
