Notes
- This recipe makes 2 cocktails. For 1 cocktail, use half of the listed ingredients.
- Use dry prosecco or dry sparkling wine because the berry blood syrup already adds sweetness.
- Champagne works too, but you do not need it. Prosecco or sparkling wine keeps this cocktail easy and party-friendly.
- For a stronger cocktail, add ½ fl oz vodka (15 ml) per glass.
- For a richer berry flavor, add ½ fl oz Chambord or another raspberry liqueur (15 ml) per glass.
- For the best Halloween look, serve the lychee eyes on cocktail skewers across the rim instead of dropping them into the drink.
