Instructions
- Begin by preparing the glass. Wet the rim of the glass with a bit of lime juice and dip it into red sugar or edible red glitter to create a “blood” rim.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, cranberry juice, pomegranate juice, grenadine, and lime juice. Add ice and shake vigorously for about 10 seconds.

- Garnish with a few pomegranate seeds for an extra creepy touch.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Dracula’s Blood Cocktail!
Notes
The dry ice is optional, but it adds a fun, eerie fog effect. Make sure to handle dry ice with care and never ingest it. You can substitute cranberry juice with other red fruit juices if you prefer a different flavor profile.
