Notes:

I do not suggest mixing this drink in advance. It tastes best when served immediately upon mixing.
You can use cocktail cranberry juice or even grape juice and its flavor variances, in place of the cranberry juice, if desired. It’s about taste preferences.
You can use simple syrup in place of the corn syrup. There are similar options that are also fine, just make sure it remains clear, or close to it.
If you don’t want to serve it on the rocks, then simply add some ice to the cocktail shaker when mixing. This will chill it, but not leave ice in your cup to water it down.
Pro Tip – Add a sprinkle of grape Kool-Aid to your drink to make it pop with flavor!

How to make a creepy cool purple people eater cocktail for Halloween

Add the vodka, sweet & sour mix, blue curacao, cranberry juice, and grenadine to a cocktail shaker. Add ice now if you’re skipping the ice in the cup. Stir for a few seconds.
Place some light corn syrup on a small plate and on a separate small plate, place a small pile of purple sanding sugar.
Dip the rim of the glass in the syrup and let the excess drip off before dipping the covered rim in the purple sugar until it’s nicely covered.
Gently fill the cup with ice (this part can be skipped, depending on preference, but it looks nicer for serving).
Strain the cocktail into the glass.
Garnish with a maraschino cherry, a plastic spider, and a purple straw, if desired, and enjoy!
