Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 oz. Vodka (Titos)
  • 1 oz. Raspberry Liqueur (Chambord)
  • 1/2 oz. Cranberry Juice
  • 1 1/2 oz. Champagne (Barefoot Bubbly)
  • 1 tsp. Grenadine Simple Syrup
  • Grenadine (as needed)
  • Red Sanding Sugar (as needed)
  • 1 Maraschino Cherry

Instructions

  1. Pour grenadine onto a small flat plate to cover the plate's diameter.
  2. Spread sanding sugar on a separate plate of equal size, covering the plate liberally.
  3. Invert a chilled glass into the grenadine, creating a red rim of syrup on the glass.
  4. Invert the wet-rimmed glass into the sanding sugar, ensuring the sugar clings well to the syrup, forming a red rim.
  5. Place a large round ice cube in the glass without disturbing the rim.
  6. Measure and pour the vodka, Chambord, and cranberry juice into the rimmed glass.
  7. Add the champagne to the glass.
  8. Drizzle grenadine over the back of a spoon onto the large round ice cube for the bloody Vampire Kiss effect.
  9. Place a maraschino cherry suspended on a pick over the glass, giving it a vampire killer vibe.
