Many drinks have a bite to them, this one’s bite might just “change you”. This the Vampire Kiss Martini.
This drink is one of our favourites, its unique look and use of red sugar sets a perfect Halloween vibe and its sharp but pleasant flavours make it very well rounded. For those unfamiliar with Chambord , it is a Black Raspberry Liqueur made in France and is used widely throughout the world. In this cocktail it does a great job of toning down the sharp alcohol tones coming from the Vodka and Champaign while adding its own sweet flavour. You can choose either Champaign or Sparkling Wine to top this drink off with depending on your preference, we went with Sparkling Wine as its much more affordable.
The Vampire Kiss Martinis stand out flavours are the Sparkling Wines bitter carbonation and the sweet fruitiness of the Chambord which complement each other very well. There is nothing complicated about it and is easy to make so we think it would be popular with both Wine and Cocktail enthusiast alike. Certainly as a Martini drink it has its own aurora about it and you will not find many other drinks out there like it.
So, as we get closer to Halloween and you are looking for more drink’s ideas, we highly suggest you give this one a go. It offers a lot in terms of taste and is extremely simple to make as it is a straight build drink that requires no extra equipment or tools to make. But do not get too use to it, it may just bite back. Here is how to make the Vampire Kiss Martini.
