🩸 Bloodbath Shots 🩸

Cherry liqueur dripping down a sugar rim—a sweet, sinister shot with a bite.

🧪 Ingredients (Makes 6–8 shots):

For the Shot:

• 1 oz cherry liqueur (like Heering or DeKuyper)

• 1 oz vodka (plain or black cherry flavored)

• 1 oz lemon juice (fresh for brightness)

• 1/2 oz grenadine (deep red and sweet)

• Ice (for shaking)

For the Bloody Rim:

• 1/4 cup corn syrup

• Red food coloring

• Coarse sugar (clear or red)

Optional Add-Ins:

• Black sugar for contrast

• Edible glitter (deep red or silver)

• Gummy heart, eyeball, or cherry for garnish

🩸 Instructions:

1. Make the Bloody Rim:

• In a small bowl, mix corn syrup with a few drops of red food coloring until it’s thick and bloodlike.

• Dip the rim of each shot glass into the bloody syrup and then into coarse sugar.

• Let the syrup drip slightly down the sides for a “bloodbath” effect.

• Chill glasses in the freezer for 5–10 minutes to set.

2. Mix the Shot:

• In a cocktail shaker with ice, combine:

  • Cherry liqueur

  • Vodka

  • Lemon juice

  • Grenadine

• Shake vigorously until well chilled.

3. Pour and Serve:

• Strain into the prepared shot glasses.

• Optionally garnish with a small gummy cherry, eyeball, or heart on a cocktail pick for gory effect.
