Preparation:
Blooddrop Edge:
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, add honey and black cherry juice. Stir to combine and bring to a boil (about 5 minutes). Then let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, and let it cool to room temperature. You can speed this up by putting the mixture in the fridge for 20-30 minutes.
- Add red food coloring and stir to combine.The “Blood”will be very viscous, so it can remain in droplets on the edge of the glass or near the edge of the glass for a long time.
Prepare the drink:
- Use a spoon to scoop out a small amount of the candied blood. A little is enough. Transfer the candied blood to the rim of your glass by tapping the edge of the glass with your spoon. Remember that even if you put just a small amount on the edge, the blood will drip. Start with a small amount and add more if needed. Continue this process until you have covered the entire perimeter of the border.
- Add the ice cubes, vodka, cranberry juice (or lingonberry juice), black cherry juice, grenadine and lime juice to a tall glass (or cocktail shaker). Stir (or shake) with a bar spoon for about 20 seconds. Strain into a prepared cocktail glass and decorate with plastic vampire fangs.
