Ingredients
- 2 oz vodka (preferably blood orange-infused for extra depth)
- 1 oz pomegranate juice (for that rich, blood-red color)
- 5 oz fresh lime juice
- 5 oz simple syrup
- A splash of club soda
- Black sugar or crushed blackberries for rimming the glass
- Dry ice (optional, for a smoky effect — handle with care!)
- Garnish: blood orange slice or a sprig of rosemary
Instructions
- Start by rimming a chilled coupe or rocks glass with black sugar — it adds a gothic flair and a sweet crunch.
- In a shaker filled with ice, combine vodka, pomegranate juice, lime juice, and simple syrup.
- Shake vigorously until well chilled.
- Strain into your prepared glass and top with a splash of club soda for a fizzy lift.
- For a dramatic touch, carefully add a small piece of dry ice to the drink (never ingest it directly) and watch the mist swirl like a witch’s cauldron.
- Garnish with a blood orange slice or a sprig of rosemary to complete the spellbinding look.
This Halloween, let the Blood Moon Elixir be your signature sip — a cocktail that’s equal parts elegance and enchantment. Ready to stir up some magic?
