Maggie Savarino Dutton is having computer problems, so I’m posting this for her.Maybe I’m just a little oversensitive, but I think some things don’t deserve acocktail named after them.The Union Square Grill usually designs a cocktail for new Seattle theater shows, which is a great marketing tool. But perhaps they should haveskipped a companion for The Color Purple.The (cringe) Violet Oppression(/cringe) they’re offering in honor of themusical version of the much-lauded book and movie is basically adrop-Cosmo hybrid containing mango vodka and X-rated liqueur (a hot-pink concoction made with blood oranges, mango, and passion fruit) withpineapple juice and sour mix — made purple by equal parts grenadine andblue Curacao.I don’t know what mango and pineapple have to do with a Pulitzer Prize-winning tale about the bleak yet inspiring lives of black woman duringthe Depression. But I guess nothing commemorates spousal abuse like ablend of blue curacao and grenadine. Granted, I’m still wrapping mybrain around The Color Purple, the musical. And I might notbe so bitchy if the cocktail was built from moonshine, peaches,bitterness and tears.The Color Purple runs December 16 through 28 at the Paramount Theater.
