What is Lean Drink?
Lean drink, often referred to as “purple drank,” “sizzurp,” or simply “lean,” is a concoction that has gained notoriety in popular culture, particularly in music and social media. Originating in the southern United States, lean drink is typically made by mixing prescription-strength cough syrup containing codeine and promethazine with a soft drink, usually soda, and sometimes a hard candy like Jolly Ranchers to enhance the flavor.
