Vampire’s Kiss Mocktail

A jewel-red Halloween mocktail with tart cranberry, black cherry, blood orange, fresh lime, and sparkling water. No pomegranate.

⏱ 10 min🍹 4 servings🌈 Easy joy

Vampire’s Kiss is a dramatic ruby-red zero-proof drink that balances tart cranberry and cherry with fresh blood orange and lime. A little agave softens the citrus, and sparkling water gives each glass a lively finish. It is made for Halloween parties, but the bright fruit flavor works all season.

Jugero flavor note

Use unsweetened cranberry juice for a tart, vivid base. If your cranberry juice is already sweetened, skip the agave until after tasting. Add the bubbles to each glass at the end so the drink stays crisp.
