Purple Punch
Purple fits the city of Minneapolis on two levels: the home team wears it, of course, and legendary musician and Minneapolis native Prince favored it. This delicious and easy-to-make concoction makes a perfect game-day party drink, and given its color, which comes out on the raspberry-magenta end of the purple spectrum, it also pays tribute to one of Prince’s greatest singles, “Raspberry Beret.”
