Serve the Vampire’s Kiss Cocktail in a tall glass with ice. The sprig of rosemary adds a nice touch and enhances the drink’s appearance. You can also serve it with a straw for easy sipping. This cocktail is best enjoyed fresh, so serve it immediately after making.

how to store Vampire’s Kiss Cocktail

If you have leftover ingredients, you can store the pomegranate juice, lime juice, and cherry syrup in the fridge for a few days. However, it’s best to prepare the drink fresh, as carbonation from the cola and club soda will lose its fizz if stored.

• Chill your ingredients before mixing to ensure the drink is cold when served.
• Use fresh pomegranate juice for the best flavor. You can also use store-bought, but check that it’s 100% juice without added sugars.
• Experiment with the garnish! A twist of lime or a slice of fresh pomegranate can make it look even more festive.
