Mix the honey and red food coloring until evenly combined.
Dip the rim of a chilled coupe glass into the red honey, letting a little drip down the side like blood.

Double strain into the prepared coupe.
Garnish with vampire fangs and serve immediately.
Pro Tips
- For a deeper red, add a second drop of food coloring to the honey mixture.
- Chill your coupe glass beforehand for an extra cold cocktail experience.
- For added flair, swirl a few drops of grenadine in the glass after freezing to mimic dripping blood.
