Do keep in mind that Janis struggled with addiction and drinking in moderation is always recommended. Just one of these is enough to channel the music legend. 2 ounces Southern Comfort 2 ounces apple juice 2 ounces cranberry juice Lime wedge for garnishing Combine all ingredients except garnish in an ice filled collins glass. Garnish with the lime wedge, and enjoy while seated at a window looking at the rain.   1958–2016 Prince’s Purple Rain Sangria Serves 8 The multitalented rock legend Prince was a singer, songwriter, guitarist, keyboardist, drummer, and bassist whose mix of up-tempo and soulful tunes made use of his remarkable vocal range and incorporated elements of R&B, funk, and much more.
