Start by preparing the glass: swipe the rim with simple syrup, then dip it into a plate filled with purple sanding sugar. Gently swirl the glass to ensure the rim is evenly coated.
In a cocktail shaker, combine the Bacardi rum, Cran-Grape juice, and black food coloring.
Shake well until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed and the color is evenly distributed.
Carefully pour the mixture into the prepared glass, taking care not to splash the sugared rim.
Slowly top off the cocktail with Sprite, being mindful to avoid disturbing the sugared rim.
Serve immediately and enjoy the spooky, fruity flavors of this Halloween-themed cocktail!
Notes
Pro Tips

Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of Sprite or using a flavored sparkling water for a different twist.
For a more intense color, add an extra drop of black food coloring gel.
