Tips for Success:
- For a more intense red color resembling blood, consider using gel food coloring or a combination of red and black.

- For an adult twist, you can also add a splash of vodka or rum to each glass for an extra kick.
- Experiment with different fruit juices to customize the flavor profile according to your preferences.
- To save time, you can prepare the Vampire’s Blood rimming mixture in advance and store it in an airtight container until ready to use.
