Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cranberry juice (preferably 100% juice for natural sweetness)
- 1/2 cup grape juice (for deep, dark color)
- 1/4 cup lemon-lime soda or club soda (for fizz)
- Red food coloring (optional for extra color intensity)
- Ice cubes
- Fresh berries (strawberries or blackberries, for garnish)
- Black sugar or colored sugar (for rim garnishing)
Instructions
- To add a spooky touch, rim your glasses with black sugar. Dip the rims into lemon juice or simple syrup, then into black sugar.
- In a pitcher, combine 1 cup of cranberry juice with 1/2 cup of grape juice. Stir well to blend the flavors.
- Pour the juice mixture into prepared glasses, filling about three-quarters full. Add a few drops of red food coloring for a vibrant blood-red hue.
- Top each glass with lemon-lime soda or club soda. Stir gently to combine and maintain the fizz.
- Garnish with fresh berries on top. Optional: add vampire fangs or blood drizzle for extra spookiness. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Reuse or prepare the juice mixture in advance, storing it in the fridge. Add carbonation just before serving for best fizz.
- Adjust sweetness by adding flavored syrup or more juice according to your taste.
- Serve in clear glasses to showcase the striking red color. Decorate with Halloween-themed ornaments for extra fun.
