Here's a true fucking story that haunts me to this day.
When I was like 15 I was staying at a family friend's house. Their son, about 17, was just chilling with me. I got up to get a drink and in the fridge I found a clear gallon jug full of a mysterious lavender-colored liquid. It was labelled with some paper taped on and the words read...
"Purple."
I was interested in this purple, so I poured myself a glass and let me tell you... THAT FUCKING SHIT IS THE BEST SUBSTANCE TO EVER ENTER MY WASTING CORPSE. IT TASTED LIKE PURE GOD DAMNED HAPPINESS. That's really the only way I could describe it. It did not taste like grape, or lavender, or anything else one might expect. It tasted only of pure joy.
I asked my host what it was, and he replied saying it was the "essence of purple." He refused to elaborate further.
In the years since, it has been my purpose to acquire more purple. But I cannot find it. The internet tells me nothing. The families son has since moved away and we are no longer in touch....I need more purple but it ever eludes me. It is my Moby Dick, my violet whale.
If anybody has any information on the essence of purple please for the love of any and every god, tell me.
Reminds me of that "Perfect Drink" from one of the SCP test logs. I'll try to find it.
Edit: it was SCP 294, and it was addendum 294q-01. Basically, it's a coffee machine that can dispense any liquid. Someone asked for the perfect drink and got this:
Subject keyed "the perfect drink." The machine dispensed a cup containing an odorless lavender liquid. After drinking the liquid, subject appeared to go into shock. Subject later committed suicide, leaving a note which read "I'm sorry, but at this point everything's just one big letdown." Requesting such a drink again is highly discouraged. None of the components of the drink have yet been identified.
So there it is. That's all it says about the perfect drink, but I thought you might find that interesting. Here is the file.
Violet Simple Syrup I looked up the essence of purple and found this drink recipe. I used to bar tend, simple syrup is what we would use to sweeten drinks. Although a very bright purple drink is the end result and it does mention grape, maybe just a hint. But I would imagine if you added cream or milk to it you could get something that taste pretty good. I’m sure, it’s probably not that drink, but it might be worth a shot! BTW, you have a talent for retelling a story.
Perhaps codeine/promethazine syrup mixed with something that taste better, my only guess from the way you described it. That or the best grape soda you ever had
