Method

  • step 1

    Add the gin and vermouth to a cocktail tin filled with ice and stir to dilute. Double strain into a chilled small coupette glass and garnish with 2 drops of the fake blood.

RECIPE TIPS
Using up your fake blood

The remaining “fake blood” can be used for other cocktails or cake decorating, like our Halloween slash cake. It will keep for a week in the fridge, so good for bigger parties and events. 

If you need smaller quantities, halve the fake blood quantities or just use a few drops of red food colouring on its own.

ABOUT THIS RECIPE

This cocktail was inspired by a drink created by the bar owner and entrepreneur Tony Conigliaro.

The proportions of the "blood" must be wrong. The whole bottle of red food colouring only weighs 50g.
