Good for adding a little bit of orange taste to drinks. It's available in several colors if you're trying to make drinks that look visually impressive. Blue Curacao, cranberry juice, and vodka will be bright purple. It's an easy drink to make, but because of the great taste and appearance, it's a quick way to impress people with your bartending skills, even if you really don't have any (like me). I'm sure this drink already has a name somewhere, but I threw it together one night at about 2:00 in the morning at a party where we were just trying to make drinks that looked cool. This was one of the few that actually tasted good as well.

Yeah, it looks like my drink is "The Eclipse." I guess I was a couple years too late. On that website it says it was invented in 1999. I made it in 2001. A lot of the people coming to my party had just come from a Hawaiian party, and a lot of them were wearing leis, so the drink became known as "the lei-ed." If we weren't so drunk already it might have got a better name like "a good lei," but the name stuck anyway.

I tried webtender.com's search engine at http://www.webtender.com/cgi-bin/imbselect?46F06E82#list. The site is basically a "What Can I Make If I Have These Ingredients?" that I often turn to. Drinks called "The Eclipse" and "Purple Rain Shot" came up for your three ingredients. So, yes, somebody has tried this before, but you will be the one to make it famous!
