Vampire’s Kiss Cocktail Recipe

What would a Vampire drink? Well, this red drink would be at the top of the list! This Halloween drink is not too tart and not too sweet. It is just right for your Halloween theme, be it a party, dinner, or a gathering of friends in the backyard by a fire.

While this is a fun Halloween cocktail, if you keep the red rim or change the rim of your martini glass to pink, and this would work very well as a Valentine’s day cocktail, just rename it.

Tips and variation for making this vampire’s kiss cocktail:

● Chambord was used in making this cocktail, but any raspberry liqueur will work.
● Instead of raspberry vodka, plain vodka or vanilla vodka would work, but realize the taste of this cocktail will change.
● If you love cranberry, you may want to substitute cranberry vodka for the raspberry vodka used in this cocktail.
● Use sweetened or unsweetened cranberry juice according to your taste.
● Use sparkling water instead of Champagne or Prosecco (sparkling wine).
● Instead of a red sugar rim, use black sugar or purple sanding sugar on the rim of the glass for a different look. Edible glitter is also an option to rim the glass.

● If you wish to use a cocktail shaker, do not add the ice, and do not add the champagne. Finish the drink with the champagne.
