Jamaican Purple Rain
This cocktail is a delightful blend of sweet and sour, with a hint of tropical fruitiness. The blue curacao and grenadine give it a sweet, citrusy flavor, while the pineapple juice and lime add a tangy kick. The Jamaican rum provides a warm, spicy undertone that perfectly balances the sweetness.
