Purple Jesus

A drink made by squeezing concentrated grape juice down the neck of a fifth or a quart of cheap vodka. Shake, serve, and drink: preferably on a levee river bank. This drink has been known in the San Joaquin Valley of Northern California for over fifty years and is rumored to be from the hobo camps: a tramp cocktail not for amateurs.

My first alcoholic drink was a paper cup filled to the brim with Purple Jesus.
