Fun & Tasty Vampire’s Kiss Cocktail For Halloween
We’re all about a festive Halloween drink and this Vampire’s Kiss Cocktail is at the top of our list. A vodka cocktail that’s sweetened with a raspberry liquor and topped off with champagne. It’s delicious, it’s fun and it’s the perfect signature drink for your Halloween party.
Cocktail Ingredients
- Champagne: You can swap out prosecco too, just make sure it’s not too sweet, somewhere in the middle works best for this cocktail.
- Vodka: Plain vodka works best, since the other ingredients add a slightly sweet flavor.
- Chambord: Chambord is a raspberry flavored liquor that adds the most delicious flavor to this cocktail. It’s a little on the pricier side but one bottle of this stuff will last you a long, long time.
How To Make
Let’s start with this show-stopping fake blood rim:
- Mix corn syrup with red food coloring and pour it onto a shallow plate.
- Dip the rim of your martini glass into the corn syrup and then turn the glass to stand it up and let the corn syrup drip down the sides. (We added sugar sprinkles to give it a little sparkle too)
For The Cocktail:
- Pour 1 1/2 ounces of vodka into the rimmed martini glass and then top off with champagne or prosecco. Add a splash of raspberry liquor, don’t stir, and serve.

Ingredients
For Rimming The Glass:
- Light corn syrup
- Red food coloring
- Red rimming sugar
For The Cocktail:
- 1 1/2 ounces Vodka
- 4 ounces Champagne or Prosecco
- 1/2 ounce Chambord (raspberry liquor)
Instructions
- Start by rimming the glass: Pour corn syrup onto a shallow plate until it’s thick enough to dip the rim of your martini glass in. Stir in the food coloring until you have the color red that you like, then dip the rim of the glass into the syrup. Turn the glass around so that some of the syrup is thicker on one side, you want an uneven layer for a more realistic blood drip.
- Turn the glass over to stand it up and let the syrup drip down the rim. Sprinkle on the rimming sugar, adding it to the top of the rim and down the sides.
- Add the vodka to the glass and then top with champagne. Slowly pour in the Chambord liquor and serve.
Recipe Notes
You can make the blood rims ahead of time but they will drip down over time, so not longer than 30 minutes in advance.
