Hmm, I was ready and willing to try Big Dogs feijoa suggestion out, when my partner said that Purple Death was quite vile and something about a jock strap or underpants or something...
What does it taste like? before I run around the whole Chch looking for it...
:spudwhat:
Nonsense. Why would they name it 'Purple Death' if it tasted bad?
kiwibiker is full of love, an disrespect.

What did I ever do to you Big Dog

Apparently not enough! lol
It really isn't that bad Jo, in fact many people have been known to rather like the stuff. I remember the first bottle I ever saw, I had to buy it just to find out if the label was taking the piss, fortunately it was. Bloody good stuff, great laugh for parties too.

Tis true, I have a bottle of Purple death I keep for unsuspecting sorts who turn up wanting to drink my alcohol.
To every man upon this earth
Death cometh sooner or late
And how can a man die better
Than facing fearful odds
For the ashes of his fathers
And the temples of his Gods

(Waa Big Dog, so beautiful the way you described it..it's just that!
Thks!!)
The manufacturers go to great lengths to make it sound bad but it is actually a dessert wine and as such tastes fabulous when combined with sweeter items, also very good for marinating steak that is a little too tough, provided you cook outdoors (10 foot flames put some people off trying this.)
As an all night binge it is deadly.
As wine it tasted dreadful.
As shots it tastes dramatic.
As a dessert topping it tastes divine.
PURPLE DEATH
An unusual "Rough-as-Guts" aperitif that has the distinctive bouquet of horse-shit and old tram tickets. it is best drunk with teeth clenched to avoid foreign bodies. Connoisseurs often drink this strange brew in conjunction with other beverages which complement, or mask, the delicate flavour of Purple Death.
Please note, the term 'some' implies a certain flexibility
Russian Jumper (with some vodka)
American Purple (with some Bourbon)
Purple Lady (with some Gin)
Purple Randy (with some Brandy, a rose and candles)
Purple Carribean (with some white Rum and a parrot)
Or use for: punch base, ice cream topping, trifles, steak marinade or with fruit juice.
If you wish to refine you palette this is not the stuff for you, go get a bottle of Galliano's Brown or Jaegermeister and make the same dessert and a splash of Cointreau.
If you want a really gastronomic experience you have to try it.
At $12 a bottle, the very worst case you have something to serve at parties as a challenge.
