Witches Blood - A Halloween Cocktail

Witches Blood is a Halloween cocktail that mixes cherry schnapps, vodka, whiskey, and fresh lemon juice, topped with cherry soda for a dark, festive drink. Stirred cold with ice and optionally served in sugar-rimmed glasses, its deep cherry and spirit flavors balance tartness with a sweet finish. The cocktail's dramatic color can be enhanced using black vodka or food coloring, making it visually striking for themed parties or gatherings.
