Halloween is all about the candy. Candy has always been the main attraction of the holiday and that probably will never change. But, along with the candy, comes the need for spooky decorations. It wouldn’t be Halloween without skeletons, ghosts and graveyards filling the neighborhood! I like to decorate inside my house as well as outside, creating a creepy atmosphere for my family to tiptoe around. In the month of October, everything is Halloween, right down to my favorite halloween drink recipes. After all, it wouldn’t feel like Halloween if I wasn’t enjoying my candy with a side of Vampire Blood drink, right?

I’m a firm believer that Halloween doesn’t have to be just about candy. There are so many fun foods and drinks that you can make to celebrate. One of my favorite traditions is to set up a whole buffet of themed foods inside my house. Friends and neighbors can stop by while trick or treating with their kids and grab a glass of kid friendly, cherry limeade Vampire blood or a piece of Hocus Pocus fudge. I take full advantage of the chance to put out a Halloween food display!

  • Sprite- The fizzy, lemon lime taste is what this drink is all about
  • Grenadine syrup- sugary, cherry syrup adds most of the flavor to the drink
  • Lime juice- fresh lime juice is best
  • Maraschino Cherries- A delicious garnish that may be mistaken for vampire eyeballs floating in the glass…
  • Black sugar sprinkles- a black sprinkled rim is fancy and spooky
  • Red gel food coloring- the deep red color of the drink is very blood-like
  • Purple cotton candy- This makes a gorgeous, colorful garnish

You can find the black sprinkles, red food coloring and cotton candy online or at your local craft store. Most stores are well stocked for Halloween right now!

Tips and Tricks for Making Halloween Vampire Blood Drink

I have made this vampire blood drink recipe many times over the years and I have a few tips and tricks to share with you. If you come up with any other stellar ideas, please let me know! I always want to make my Halloween themed treats better and creepier!

  • Prepare the glasses in advance, dipping the edges in the black sugar and adding the food coloring blood. This will save you time later on!
  • Wait until you are ready to drink the vampire blood before mixing the drink. Sprite looses its fizz quickly so you want it to be as fresh as possible.
  • Make scary ice cubes to add to the drink. Place a plastic spider in each section of an ice cube tray and then fill with water. Freeze the cubes and then pop a “spider ice” into each glass!
  • Make this drink into a Halloween cocktail, perfect for adults. Simply add 1 ½ ounces of vodka to each glass before pouring the vampire blood drink into each glass.
  • Red gel food coloring will make the thickest “blood” drip for the glasses. Be warned that your mouth will turn red, just like a vampire who just enjoyed some blood…
  • Any bright color cotton candy will work. Neon orange, green or purple are my favorites. You can find small bags at Party City, the dollar store or order them online!

This Halloween, don’t focus just on the candy, remember to make everything creepy, spooky and scary! I never thought sipping vampires blood would taste this good! This Halloween drink recipe for Vampire Blood is the perfect way to add even more fun and spookiness to your house. Give them a try for your Halloween party or to hand out to adults on Halloween night.

    Fun! šŸ˜Š Getting in the Halloween spirit! šŸŽƒšŸ‘»šŸ•·
    My kids have always liked this type of drink. They don’t like maraschino cherries though, and since Grenadine is Pomegranate syrup we like to use fresh Pomegranate seeds (smashed a bit) in the drink. The kids call them bloody teeth or bloody bone bits, depending on their mood. Lol

    This drink looks so realistic. I’ll have to make some for my son. Dollar tree used to have plastic spooky hand cups that you could use. I still have one floating around from several years ago, It has held up fairly nicely.
