Here’s another biochemical marvel: when combined with alcohol, like your favorite liquor, antioxidants become even more powerful. That’s because alcohol is absorbed fast, so those mighty antioxidants get delivered to your cells much more rapidly. Which makes PurpleTM a really smart choice for all your favorite cocktails – not to mention it’s quite the looker in a cocktail glass.
So try a few of our favorites, or experiment on your own. Cheers: here’s to the healthiest cocktails on the planet.
