Grape Ape, Grape Ape

Remember that old cartoon show Grape Ape? A big purple cartoon ape saying “Grape Ape, Grape Ape” just brings a smile to my face when I think about this vodka infused low carb cocktail. For some reason, I always craved a grape soda after watching it. An icy grape soda was the ultimate summer drink for generations of kids. At least in the south anyway. Lots of little convenience stores kept thick glass bottles of cokes (the Texas word that means “soda” or “pop”) in a big, old aluminum wash tub filled with ice at the front of the store. Just putting my hand in there and pulling out a dripping bottle was enough to send a chill down my body, still tingling from the 100 degree heat outside. There was always a bottle opener somewhere by the register. After I handed over my 25 cents, I’d pop the top off that drink and watch as a layer of slushy ice formed on top.

It was heaven. Frosty, grape heaven.

The slushy, fizzy Nehi would invariably give me brain freeze but it was SO worth it.

Well, this low carb grape Nehi cocktail is a nod to that memory. It doesn’t contain any Nehi grape soda, but the flavor shines through. Gin and grape vodka make it an adult drink but you could leave the alcohol out and make it kid friendly too. Either way it’s a wonderfully refreshing drink.

What’s a Highball Glass?

A highball glass is a glass tumbler that can hold 8 to 12 ounces. They are the perfect way to serve a low carb cocktail. My daughter gave me some thick recycled glass cups for my birthday and I love them! Oddly enough they replicate the feel of those old glass bottles perfectly. I love the way they feel in my hands but they do have a green tinge to them so the drink doesn’t look as purple in the pictures as it really is. SO pretty!
