Hi, I'm Mauricio for About.com Food. Today, at The Studio in South Beach, Florida, I'm going to be showing you how to make a purple rain.

Purple Rain Ingredients

To make the purple rain you will need:
  • 2 ounces of vodka
  • 2 ounces of wild berry martini mix
  • 2 ounces of cherry juice
  • a shaker filled with ice
  • a spoon for the layering effect
  • a purple orchid

Layer the Purple Rain

Add the cherry juice to the bottom so that it settles because it's a little thicker than the rest. After that you pour the vodka into the shaker with ice, give it a good shake. Next you use the spoon for the layering. Next your going to add the two ounces of wild berry martini mix, and this should make the purple effect. And to top it off, you add the orchid.
