Ingredients

  • 2 ounces white tequila
  • 1 ounce PAMA liqueur
  • Seltzer for topping
  • Corn syrup for rimming
  • Red food coloring for rimming
  • Splash of grenadine for rimming

Instructions

  • Begin by preparing the glass: pour some corn syrup into a shallow dish and add a splash of grenadine and a few drops of red food coloring. Stir to combine.
  • Dip the rim of your glass into the mixture, allowing the "bloody" syrup to drip down the sides for a gory effect. Set the glass aside.
  • In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add the white tequila and PAMA liqueur.
  • Shake well until the mixture is chilled.
  • Strain the cocktail into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice.
  • Top with seltzer to add a refreshing fizz to the drink.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy the spooky, blood-red allure of the Vampire Tequila.

Notes

Pro Tips
  • For an even more dramatic effect, add a drop of red food coloring to the seltzer before topping the drink.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less grenadine to the corn syrup mixture for the rim.
  • Garnish with a black straw or a plastic vampire fang to complete the eerie presentation.
