The Legend of the Purple Hooter

Legend has it that the Purple Hooter originated in an African jungle, specifically in the southern tip of the Congo. In the town of Booray, which proudly boasts the title of premier producer of raspberries in Africa, the locals had to find a way to protect their precious raspberries from the gorillas that lived in the area.

One man discovered that gorillas couldn’t stand the sound of a hooting horn, so he blew and blew until the gorillas avoided the town. In honor of this man, the people named him the “purple hooter” due to his relentless blowing of the horn that turned his face purple.

To commemorate the purple hooter, the townspeople created a drink made of raspberries and other ingredients. Although the story may be fictional, there’s no denying the deliciousness of this concoction.
