Let's Go Crazy
In honor of losing Minnesota's native son, Prince, at this time last year Firelake at the Radisson Blu Mall of America is paying tribute. Two cocktails are on the menu that were inspired by the Purple One, and partial proceeds from each go to Bridge for Youth -- a non-profit organization that helps the 4,000 youth who are homeless in the Twin Cities every night.
One of these cocktails, called "Let's Go Crazy," is a slightly-modified Minnesota version of the classic Aviation cocktail. This well-balanced, light, bright, and beautiful gin cocktail has one other important attribute: it's purple.
Recipe:
- 2 oz J. Carver Grimm Farm Gin
- ¾ oz fresh Lemon juice
- ½ oz Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur
- ¼ oz Tempus Fugit Liqueur de Violettes
Instructions:
Combine all ingredients and shake over ice. Strain into a coupe cocktail glass. Garnish with two maraschino cherries.
