Bloody vampire cocktails for Halloween

Step 1

Add 1/2 cup corn syrup and 1 teaspoon of red food coloring to a shallow bowl. Whisk together until the syrup turns a bright "blood" red.

Step 2

Dip the rim of a martini glass into the syrup, lightly coating the entire rim. You don't need too much syrup to create the most realistic blood drips. Let some of the syrup drip off back into the bowl before turning the glass upright.

Place the glass upright on a plate or some parchment paper until the syrup is done dripping down the sides.

Step 5

Strain the mixture into the syrup-rimmed martini glass. The trick is to not fill the glass too high, so you can still see some of the blood drips around the rim.
