Vampire Kiss Martini
This delicious CBD drink is Dracula-approved, with a sharp flavor that’s too tempting to resist. Other options pale in comparison.
Serves: Two
What You'll Need:
- Six ounces vodka
- Two ounces raspberry liqueur (Chambord, divided)
- Four to six ounces Sparkling CBD Black Cherry Soda
- Red sugar (optional)
How It's Made:
While this concoction is much more complex than others we’ve described, those who aren’t scared off easily will attest that the taste is worth the trouble. To start, rim two tall cocktail glasses with red sugar. Measure one ounce of raspberry liqueur (saving the remaining half for later). Divide the vodka and ounce of raspberry liqueur between both glasses, blending them well. Top with your desired amount of Black Cherry CBD soda.
Finally, add that last ounce of Chambord liqueur by pouring it over the back of a spoon – making it float on the surface of each craft CBD cocktail. Enjoy!

Gently mix in both cans of Sparkling Black Cherry soda, and float the grapefruit slices for garnish. Serve in glasses over ice.
